<strong>The</strong> Opel Blitz was one of many similar light trucks used by the Wehrmacht to transport personnel and supplies<br />

(up to 3 tons) in all theaters of the war. Unfortunately, it was hampered by poor traction and low power, and<br />

often failed entirely off-road, especially in muddy weather. During the war, 429,000 light trucks of all types<br />

were manufactured for the Wehrmacht, including about 95,000 Opel Blitz in both two- and four-wheel<br />

drive models.<br />

Options: None.
