Cross-Country Lorries : German Manufacturers (Camera On)

During Weimar Germany's first programme for motorising the Reichswehr from 1926, development of three-axled cross-country lorries with a payload of 3 tons was demanded (in addition to vehicles of other specification).
Three companies were involved in the development of these lorries: Bussing, Henschel and Krupp. The first Henschel model - the Henschel type 33 B 1 - was delivered in 1928.

This profusely illustrated photo-album includes over 150 previously unseen pictures of these vehicles in action, many from private sources in Germany.

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.

The 'Einheits-Diesel' - WW2 German Trucks (Camera On)

This photo-album in the "Camera On" series contains over 100 photographs of the Leichter Geländegängiger Lastkraftwagen "Einheitsdiesel" (Standard Diesel Lorry).
The development of the standard lorry for the German military started in 1934.

It was planned to develop vehicles with 2, 3 and 4 axles with payloads of 1.5, 2.5 and 4 tons, but in the end only the model with three axles and 2.5 tons payload entered serial production.
Series production started in 1937 and ended in 1940 with more than 14,300 vehicles being built by nine different main vehicle producers. The "Einheits-Diesel" lorries were made identical by all nine manufacturers: Bussing-NAG, Daimler-Benz, FAUN, VOMAG, Henschel, Krupp, Magirus, MAN and Borgward.

"Camera On" is a series of books on the equipment and operations of the German Wehrmacht in WW2. The focus is on the often ignored or overlooked soft-skinned, non-armoured, vehicles used by the German army. These profusely illustrated photo-albums include a large number of previously unseen pictures, many from private sources in Germany.

Deutsche Militärlastwagen - Bis 1945

The Wehrmacht entered the Second World War with a huge number of horses, wagons, tanks and trucks. However, as there were never enough to replace the lost vehicles or even to increase the level of motorization, trucks were considered the army's weak point. And because suitable material was in short supply, all kinds of civilian vehicles were used, regardless of their suitability.

Pages du livre "Deutsche Militärlastwagen - Bis 1945"

This resulted in a hodgepodge of vehicles and brands, most of which were also adopted by the Wehrmacht.
The army is said to have used over 1000 vehicle types - Werner Oswald portrays the most important of these in this book.

Mercedes PKW und LKW 1935-1945

Au début, la Reichswehr a dû se contenter de voitures disponibles dans le commerce, la construction de véhicules militaires ayant été interdite par les puissances victorieuses après la Première Guerre mondiale perdue. Cela a conduit à l'introduction de véhicules dits tout-terrain basés sur des modèles existants, les "Kübelwagen".
Ce n'est qu'après 1933 que débuta la production de voitures de type militaire, comme la Mercedes-Benz 170 V, qui fut fournie aux troupes en nombre considérable avec une carrosserie de jeep. Ils ont été suivis par des camions-nacelles tout-terrain à trois essieux tels que le G 1.

Les camions sont devenus particulièrement importants parce que la Première Guerre mondiale avait montré l'importance du transport de ravitaillement motorisé. Au cours des premières années, le Bureau des armes s'appuyait sur des types disponibles dans le commerce avec quelques extras.
La fusion de Daimler et Benz en 1926 a créé la base d'un tout nouveau programme de véhicules commerciaux, y compris le nouveau moteur diesel, alors appelé "moteur à pétrole brut". En 1928, débute la production en série du camion à trois essieux G 3, qui est équipé en grand nombre d'une carrosserie destinée aux troupes de communication.
Après 1933, la construction de camions connaît un essor rapide, Daimler-Benz détenant le leadership du marché. Des véhicules militaires tout-terrain spéciaux ont également été développés.

Découvrez les détails dans des textes vivants et des photos historiques qui contribuent grandement à la compréhension de ce chapitre multiforme de l'histoire de Mercedes-Benz.

Deutsche Heeresfahrzeuge - Anhänger und Sonderanhänger bis 1945 (Typenkompass)

Standardized trailers were first used by German forces during the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-71. However, it was not until the First World War that they were able to demonstrate their great usefulness in the context of subsidized trucks.
The areas of use were varied: they often completed the structures of various camps and individual units as mobile facilities. Workshop trailers, lighting trailers and kitchen trailers were just as indispensable as a medical trailer.
The range was rounded off by transport trailers for anti-aircraft guns and artillery, general equipment and ammunition.

Opel-Militärfahrzeuge 1906-1956

Opel, as a manufacturer of sewing machines, bicycles and automobiles, had become an important supplier in many markets. The proven quality was also crucial for the military and led to the use of Opel vehicles in all combat zones in both world wars.
This illustrated book by author Eckhart Bartels offers readers interested in automobile history, militaria collectors and model makers a comprehensive presentation of the development history of the Opel works in connection with the military as a customer and influential buyer.
In addition to numerous historical operational photos, the reader also gets an insight into the development at Opel before and after the wars.

The book's thematic focus is on comprehensive explanations of the design and testing as well as examples of the use of Opel cars, trucks and special designs in the period from 1931 to 1945.
The book shows the paramilitary reliability tests, the NSKK competitions and the increasing military orientation of the Opel Blitz commercial vehicles. The four-wheel drive Blitz, the "Maultier" and the rocket launcher are particularly discussed in detail, but also the NSU sprocket with Opel drive technology.

More than 260 operational images, factory photos, archive images and design drawings as well as detailed information on the technical development and model history make this book an interesting and highly informative reference work.
