Kfz. 1, 2, 3 & 4 : Light Off-Road Passenger Cars (Camera On)

"The leichter geländegängiger Personenkraftwagen, or l.gl. Einheits-Pkw - light off-road passenger cars - were manufactured by Stoewer, Hanomag and BMW from 1936 to early 1944. The superstructures were delivered by ten different companies and were identical from each manufacturer.

Early versions had both 4-wheel drive and steering which later was dropped to just 4 wheel drive and front wheel steering. These off road cars were used by the German Army in four distinct versions with the designations Kfz. 1, Kfz. 2, Kfz. 3 and Kfz. 4.

This new photo-album in the "Camera On" series contains over 120 photos of these vehicles during WWII.

Schwerer Geländegängiger Personenkraftwagen and Successors (Camera On)

This new photo album from the "Camera On" series it is the first to cover such a broad selection of Germanys heavy off-road passenger cars. It includes both the Schwerer Geländegängiger Personenkraftwagen and its successors, the Horch 108 type 1 and its licenced build Ford type EG equivalents as well as the heavy cars built on light truck chassis such as the Steyr 1500 and Mercedes 1500A & S types.

This book contains 140+ photographs of German heavy passenger cars photographed in operation in the conditions they had to work in. This volume illustrates these vehicles as the soldiers themselves viewed them in both their working environment and indeed in many case the home they had to live in, not the highly polished and sanitized views of the official photographers.
