Thanks a lot for the fast reply and cheeeers!

PS
But is it normal that the car is missing the Mercedes sign at the front (at least it seems it's missing it, looking at the photo)?

Hi again,
Generally speaking, the missing emblems are quite normal sight: they can be lost or stolen. Also at the final stages of the war on many German vehicles they weren't factory fitted.
Cheers!

Thanks again, for the quick explanation!

Anyone? Is it a Horch...? I've been checking various Kübelwagen photos, but I still haven't found a match.

Hi Ivan,

it´s definitely no Horch. It could be a conversion of a captured British vehicle. I assume it could be a Morris-Commercial type PU, a conversion to a Kübelwagen. Here three pics of this vehicle all of the division "Das Reich".

Bra-vo, Bert, you nailed it

Thank you very much!

...forgot to check: did the German variant have an official name?

Hi Iva,

I don´t know that.

Just checking: BMW 321? [or is there some detail I might be missing]

Another unknown car, does anyone recognise it by any chance?

Hello again, dear Panzer-section members

Correct me if I'm wrong, pictured is a Steyr 1500 car. But which Kfz. is it?

Good day Ivan.
BMW 326 (1936-1938)

[Ivan Ž.]

I wish you a good day as well - and thank you, uncle!

Any ideas about the last (Steyr) car and the Kfz.-question (anyone)?

Cheers,
Ivan
