Beutewagen: Allied Field Cars in Wehrmacht Service

BEUTEWAGEN: Allied Field Cars in Wehrmacht Service - Bantam BRC-40, Willys MB, Ford GPW and GAZ-64

To a large extent, the German Wehrmacht of World War Two had to rely on captured vehicles to boost its motor pool. Concerning US-built and Soviet-built field cars (the Bantam BRC-40, Willys MB, Ford GPW and GAZ-64 – the “Beutewagen”), their almost microscopic number in German service has meant they have previously avoided monographic documentation.

That is, until now. It borders on a small miracle that no fewer than 118 contemporary, in-service photos of US and Soviet field cars in German Army use – after almost 40 years of collecting – could be gathered to cover this hitherto completely uncharted story for the very first time.

Adding to the original, wartime photos published in this book are twelve artist’s 3D impressions showing, for the very first time in colour, their most fascinating German camouflage schemes and markings. The wartime photos are almost all previously unpublished and, for better classification and contextualisation in this publication, they are embedded in a brief history of American, German and Soviet field cars of World War Two. This is rounded out by technical walk-arounds and, last but not least, a colour section showing preserved vehicles to please fans and modellers with camouflage, realistic weathering and authentic scenery.
