Hello
Could anyone tell me something about the cars below. First the one with a "sheet" on the side. Does this car has anything to do with the work done beside it ? type and purpose of this car ?
Last one also, type and purpose ?
I know its a easy way asking here, but i know there are lots of people with knowledge in this forum, so ill take the shortcut... :)
regards

Hello
Thanks for your reply, ill look into it and compare it with a Phänomen Granit.
If picture comes from same place as others in the same serie, its from southern Norway, 1941/42.

the shape of the roof of the trucks looks like an opel ambulance, seems like maybe they have made a welders truck out of one

Thanks for this thread Christian Ankerstjerne
I got about a thousand "strange" vehicles in my X-Files Reich-folders that need a name or a make. :wink:

Perhaps you experts can solve this mystery.

Here is a weird picture 8O

What make of vehicle might this one be?
Any guesses?

...a what? I can´t find a translation for it. Didn´t find anything on the web about it either.
pic2. a sled
Thanks, I know that. But what type of make of sled? Very strange machine for winter campaigns. can´t find anything about this one.
pic3. a crane
yes...but was it a "one-of-a-kind" or were there more like it? What production make, or type?
pic4. a decoy tank
again...yes. BUT I think this was just a one-of-a-kind vehicle. I think there is a Kugelwagen underneath that "carnival panzer". What you all think about it? In my opinion it is either a good "joke" or a real battlefield practice vehicle from the pre-war years like those funny-looking Kugelwagens that were dresssed-up as tanks for panzer practice. What you think?
