Cross-Country Lorries : German Manufacturers (Camera On)

During Weimar Germany's first programme for motorising the Reichswehr from 1926, development of three-axled cross-country lorries with a payload of 3 tons was demanded (in addition to vehicles of other specification).
Three companies were involved in the development of these lorries: Bussing, Henschel and Krupp. The first Henschel model - the Henschel type 33 B 1 - was delivered in 1928.

This profusely illustrated photo-album includes over 150 previously unseen pictures of these vehicles in action, many from private sources in Germany.

Krupp Protze Lorry

The L 2 H 43 and L 2 H 143, better known by the nickname given to it by the troops that used it "Krupp-Protze", was a specialized multi-purpose designed six-wheeled 6x4 German light off road truck and artillery tractor produced between 1934 and 1941. It was fitted with the Krupp M-304 flat four engine, a 4-cylinder horizontally opposed petrol engine that originally delivered 55bhp but was upgraded to deliver 60bhp in 1936.

The Krupp Protze saw extensive service on all of the operational fronts where the German army was engaged.
This book covers the Krupp Protze in great photographic detail focusing on the trucks and their crews as they dealt with the conditions and circumstances they found themselves in.

The 'Einheits-Diesel' - WW2 German Trucks (Camera On)

This photo-album in the "Camera On" series contains over 100 photographs of the Leichter Geländegängiger Lastkraftwagen "Einheitsdiesel" (Standard Diesel Lorry).
The development of the standard lorry for the German military started in 1934.

It was planned to develop vehicles with 2, 3 and 4 axles with payloads of 1.5, 2.5 and 4 tons, but in the end only the model with three axles and 2.5 tons payload entered serial production.
Series production started in 1937 and ended in 1940 with more than 14,300 vehicles being built by nine different main vehicle producers. The "Einheits-Diesel" lorries were made identical by all nine manufacturers: Bussing-NAG, Daimler-Benz, FAUN, VOMAG, Henschel, Krupp, Magirus, MAN and Borgward.

"Camera On" is a series of books on the equipment and operations of the German Wehrmacht in WW2. The focus is on the often ignored or overlooked soft-skinned, non-armoured, vehicles used by the German army. These profusely illustrated photo-albums include a large number of previously unseen pictures, many from private sources in Germany.

Deutsche Militärlastwagen - Bis 1945

The Wehrmacht entered the Second World War with a huge number of horses, wagons, tanks and trucks. However, as there were never enough to replace the lost vehicles or even to increase the level of motorization, trucks were considered the army's weak point. And because suitable material was in short supply, all kinds of civilian vehicles were used, regardless of their suitability.

Pagine del libro "Deutsche Militärlastwagen - Bis 1945"

This resulted in a hodgepodge of vehicles and brands, most of which were also adopted by the Wehrmacht.
The army is said to have used over 1000 vehicle types - Werner Oswald portrays the most important of these in this book.

Mercedes PKW und LKW 1935-1945

At first, the Reichswehr had to use commercially available cars, as the construction of military vehicles was prohibited by the victorious powers after losing the First World War. This led to the introduction of so-called off-road cars based on existing models, the "Kübelwagen".
It was only after 1933 that military-grade cars began to be produced, such as the Mercedes-Benz 170 V, which was delivered to the troops in considerable numbers with a Kübelwagen body. This was followed by off-road three-axle Kübelwagen such as the G 1.

Trucks were of particular importance because the First World War had shown the importance of motorized supply transport. In the first few years, the Ordnance Department relied on commercially available models with few extras.
The merger of Daimler and Benz in 1926 created the basis for a completely new commercial vehicle program, including the newly introduced diesel engine, then known as the "crude oil engine." In 1928, series production of the three-axle G 3 truck began, which was fitted with a body for the signal troops in large numbers.
After 1933, truck construction experienced a rapid upswing, with Daimler-Benz holding the market leadership. Special military off-road vehicles were now also developed.

Experience the details in vivid texts and historical photos, which contribute greatly to understanding this multifaceted chapter of the Mercedes-Benz history.

Deutsche Heeresfahrzeuge - Anhänger und Sonderanhänger bis 1945 (Typenkompass)

Standardized trailers were first used by German forces during the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-71. However, it was not until the First World War that they were able to demonstrate their great usefulness in the context of subsidized trucks.
The areas of use were varied: they often completed the structures of various camps and individual units as mobile facilities. Workshop trailers, lighting trailers and kitchen trailers were just as indispensable as a medical trailer.
The range was rounded off by transport trailers for anti-aircraft guns and artillery, general equipment and ammunition.
