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.

Krupp Lastwagen 1925-1974 (Typenkompass)

Shortly after the First World War, the heavy industry company from Essen began producing commercial vehicles. Towards the end of the 1950s, Krupp surprised everyone with a modern and innovative new series of trucks based on cab-over-engines. However, the company's adherence to the two-stroke diesel engine caused sales to collapse, which brought about the end of truck production.

For each type covered, this Typenkompass book contains a photo, a historical description and technical data.
