Mercedes PKW und LKW 1935-1945

At first, the Reichswehr had to use commercially available cars, as the construction of military vehicles was prohibited by the victorious powers after losing the First World War. This led to the introduction of so-called off-road cars based on existing models, the "Kübelwagen".
It was only after 1933 that military-grade cars began to be produced, such as the Mercedes-Benz 170 V, which was delivered to the troops in considerable numbers with a Kübelwagen body. This was followed by off-road three-axle Kübelwagen such as the G 1.

Trucks were of particular importance because the First World War had shown the importance of motorized supply transport. In the first few years, the Ordnance Department relied on commercially available models with few extras.
The merger of Daimler and Benz in 1926 created the basis for a completely new commercial vehicle program, including the newly introduced diesel engine, then known as the "crude oil engine." In 1928, series production of the three-axle G 3 truck began, which was fitted with a body for the signal troops in large numbers.
After 1933, truck construction experienced a rapid upswing, with Daimler-Benz holding the market leadership. Special military off-road vehicles were now also developed.

Experience the details in vivid texts and historical photos, which contribute greatly to understanding this multifaceted chapter of the Mercedes-Benz history.
