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.

Henschel 33 - 3-Tonner Lastkraftwagen (6x4) im Dienste der Reichswehr und Wehrmacht

The bulk of Wehrmacht transport of World War 2 was in the 3-ton payload range. The best known truck in this class, aside from the Opel Blitz S, was the Henschel Typ 33. It is creditable that a peacetime design that saw the light of day as early as 1934 (when mass production for the Reichswehr was launched) survived for such a long time in the treadmill of World War 2.
Even more amazingly, it did not have any major need of modernisation or modification. The Henschel 33 was capable of functioning under the harshest of wartime conditions.

This publication describes the history, technology, variants, production batches and wartime service of the Henschel 33 3-ton 6x4 in unprecedented detail.
