Many thanks Bryson109, your the AFV expert dude
I gotta a few more "strange" vehicles on my files.
Keep your eyes fixed on this thread. I´ll post more weird machines soon.
I am still trying to search out some of these vehicles on books or on the internet, but it´s kinda difficult.
Thanks everyone for your help. Very cool of you. 8)
Be free to add them to your files for future references

Max:
Cannot Id all of them but here is a try. I am using your photo reference numbers.
.055 This is an early version of what was called a landwasser-schlepper The Germans tried many such vehicles out as amphibious transports.
.087 is a motorschlitten, German is not one of my languages, but it was an over the snow vehicle tested on the Russian front.
.024 is an Opel Kranwagen which was used to carry out the exchange of aero engines.
.066 is a bit of a mystery, but probably a dummy training tank.
.022 is also a mystery but I remember a photo of it in one of my books and will revert.
If you would like to email me your file of unidintified vehicles to [email protected] I will try to help you further and we can post them here as well.

Many thanks for your help Bill Murray. Very cool of you.
Like I said, I will post them up here for the rest of the guys and gals to add them to their own personal files too.
But whenever I have the chance I´ll zip them up an´send them over to you personally
Keep posting those weird machines folks.
I love to see a good mystery-wagon

My sincere apologies, I was in too big a hurry and answered from my business, where I have no reference works. It is a Kadett, not an Olympia but it is of the same vintage. I really hate it when I make those kind of stupid errors in haste.

Thanks David W. I am not an expert on WW2 motorcycles either. I have been searching around some sites on motorcycles myself, and I believe it to be a Zundapp too, because of that particular frame it had.But still I am not 100% correct on this.David W

052 might be a Zundapp 750 maybe. (only a guess, I am not a M/C specialist, but I think I have seen the photo before, it was the donkey in the background that reminded me! The caption was a Zundapp as far as I recall.
The donkey's name is Ethel. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Donkey (pack animal Mk I)
By the way I like that particular comment
I think I will defenitly had that to the picture name for reference.(well, at least for comic relief) HAHAAHAHAThe donkey's name is Ethel. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Donkey (pack animal Mk I)
Many thanks for your help. Much appreciated.

Well Sander, I can give some guesses, not so bad ones I hope, of what it could be but I cannot positively identify it.
Based on the chassis configuration, I have 5 choices, the first three from the mid 1930 period, the last two from the late 1930 period.
Henschel 36W3
MB L 8500
Vomag 8LR
Buessing Typ 900/900N
MB L 10000
My references are the German Autotypenbuch issues of 1934, 1935 and 1938.
Since this is an ebay item I doubt if there were any supporting photos that might give us another, if even if of lesser overall quality (actually if you are interested in the crane it is a good picture)that would give us a chance to see the bonnet, grille, front wings etc. it would make things easier.
