Vehicle identity requests

Anyone for this Austrian Old-Timer?

Hi Max,

I have it as a Mannesmann-Mulag semi-trailer tractor for 10 tons, but I´m not sure.

Best regards

Bert

Thanks Bert,
Similar ID points to other M-M lorries for sure.

Anybody have a guess on this one? Its a mystery Japanese "vehicle" which appears to propel itself along on rails. The only explanation I can come up with is a testbed platform for various takeoff rockets, to fulfill the same purpose as the Rheinmetall-Borsig RI-502 did for the Germans.

Nice looking car, license appears to be possibly IIC Niederbayern. Coachbuilt? Horch, Audi, DKW, or Wanderer?

Hi Max,

IMO a DKW Schwebeklasse.

Thank you, Markus. That type flew under my radar somehow. I don't think I've seen it before.

Hi Max,
The Schwebeklasse was a rare bird in military service, I have seen very few examples. Here is one, cropped from a larger photo of a Morris-Commercial and the DKW under tow from an Opel Blitz, all in Luftwaffe service.
Cheers,
Kerry.

Nice find,Kerry. Many thanks.

What could this Kreigsmarine vehicle and apparatus be?

[B Hellqvist]

This is a detail of a photo that appears to have been taken in the aftermath of a battle during the campaign in the West, 1940. The radiator of the car wreck has a six-pointed star (or something very similar). What make could it be? The only brand that shows up when I google "six-pointed star radiator" is Buick, and that doesn't look like it.

A Henschel, a 25 T/28 T maybe:

That's it! Thanks!

Hi Bjorn, hi Markus,

exactly it is the type 28 T 1 or T 2. Here a pic of the type 28 T 2 out of the book "Typenkompass Henschel" by Wolfgang H. Gebhardt.

Regards
