Re: Wehrmacht tankers
Hi Protze, Einheitsdiesel,
thanks for the last pics and information. I´ve found another tanker, employed by the Germans. It`s a French tanker for 5.000 litres, type Matford F 917 - WS. (source: Waffenarsenal, Podzun-Pallas).
Regards
Bert

Re: Wehrmacht tankers
Hi all,
This image was taken on a Luftwaffe airfield in late 1940. It shows an "antique" Henschel Rex refuelling a "state of the art" Focke-Wulf Fw 190 fighter plane.

Re: Wehrmacht tankers
Hi Bert,
A very interesting image of a Ford V3000S tanker. The truck is equipped with a Thornton tandem drive axle conversion set. With this set the truck is rebuild from a 4x2 truck to a 6x4 one with could load now a cargo from about 6 tons instead of 3 tons.
The Thornton Tandem Company of 5128 Braden Street Detroit , was specialised to convert Ford, Chevrolet (and GMC?) trucks from 4x2 in 4x4, 6x4 and 6x6. The company used a patented rear bogie and allowed twin rear wheels on each rear axle to increase capacity of an axle from 1½- to 3-tons.
Also on this image a Focke-Wulf Fw 190 fighter plane.
