Hi Holger,

thank You very much. I thought it could be a Büssing-NAG, but I couldn´t ID the truck. I haven´t seen such a type, yet.
For me it looks a little bit more like the type 504 with the shorter flatbed. And for a snow plough it would be good to have a cross-country version.
Thanks again.

Greetings

Bert

I was to hasty...I thought it could be a Skoda because of the specific radiator grille.

It's a 1920's Renault, but I don't know the model.

Hi Henning,

to Your truck. I think like You. It could be a Hansa-Lloyd 2,5t. Maybe it´s the 2ton-truck of Hansa-Lloyd. I don´t think that it is a Borgward 3t G.W. It doesn´t fit. Please compare it with the other trucks. The Hansa-Llloyd-truck is smaller.

Greetings

Thank you, Sean! It could be a Reanult 6CV or 10CV.

henning:
I am staying away from the Borgward/Hansa LLoyd vehicles as I always get it wrong.

The tanker is a Matford ex French and maybe civilian. The vehicle behind that is a 1935 Ford possibly French and also civilian. As far as I can tell, the two vehicles behind the Ford are Opel Blitz 3 ton 4X2 vehicles.

Hi Bill & Bert

Thanks for your opinions.

Bert I think you are right. If the radiator or the hole truck is smaller, i will asked friends wich owns fire-cars on Hansa-Lloyd and borgward.

I think here is the important difference: the hole for the motor-crank. Please compare the pics and zoom the foto-historiker.

best regards
Henning

Hi Henning, hi all,

Henning, I´m sorry. I have no idea, what trucks there are on the pic.

Here another pic with a truck I cannot ID. The text to the pic: A clothing detoxification vehicle Sd.Kfz. 93 built on a captured truck chassis (MAC?), Eastern front 1941 - 1942. Source: Samochody Wehrmachtu vol. IV by Janusz Ledwoch.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Bert:

If I am correct, you have a rather rare vehicle here in a rather strange place.
I believe it is a Volvo, possibly an LV120 as I have copied here.
Volvo's were sold in the Baltic countries and of course in some numbers in Finland.
If I am correct, it should have come from one of those countries.

Hi Bill,

thank You very much for ID this really rare vehicle. I thought it could be an American truck, maybe a GMC. You are right, it is a Volvo. In the Finnish book Moottori-Ajoneuvot 1919 - 1959 by Markku Mäkipirtti I have found a pic of a Volvo truck with Finnish soldiers, very similar to the one You posted. The info to the truck is only Volvo, nothing more.

Greetings

Bert

This small vehicle is listed in one of Ronald Kaltenegger's book as an "Erlkönig" -- purpose built for mountain troops. It's not a Kfz 1 or Kfz 2 from what I can tell. Looks smaller than a Kubelwagen. The canvas top appears very tall on this very small car. Anyone have a photo of the complete vehicle?

According to the discussion at http://74.125.77.132/search?q=cache:tyf ... clnk&gl=fi the Erlkönig might be
a narrower version of the Stoewer Kfz.4 Light cross-country standard vehicle
cf. vehicle with slightly different ragtop and bodywork at http://www.autogallery.org.ru/k/sa/leic ... mmachs.jpg
