Nuts and Bolts 32: The medium cross-country lorries 3 ton (6x4) of the Reichswehr and Wehrmacht

Nuts and Bolts, Book 32: Mittlere geländegängige Lastkraftwagen (o) - The medium cross-country lorries 3 ton (6x4) of the Reichswehr and Wehrmacht

Nuts & Bolts has so far only published on tracked vehicles, half-track vehicles and weapon systems.

With this volume of the series, we are dealing for the first time with trucks - the medium off-road trucks (commercial) - m. gl. Lkw. (o) - of the Reichswehr and Wehrmacht.

The development of these vehicles began in the second half of the 1920s and their appearance characterized the Reichswehr and Wehrmacht in the 1930s. During the war, these vehicles were confronted with loads in the various operational areas for which they had not been developed. Nevertheless, many of these trucks served until the end of the war. Only a few vehicles have survived to this day. This is partly due to the shortage of transport vehicles in Europe after the war. As a result, most of the remaining vehicles were driven to destruction.
