Re: Vehicle identity requests
Hi Henning,
to the destroyed Red Cross vehicle. I agree with You that it can be a Borgward or Hansa-Lloyd truck, the roof of the cab, the rear hinges of the door, but I don´t think that it is the 3 ton version G.W. I assume that it must be a lighter type of Borgward or better Hansa-Lloyd, because the truck was used as an ambulance and didn´t need so much payload to transport wounded soldiers. So the Wehrmacht often used light trucks as improvised ambulances. But it´s very difficult for me to ID the exact type, because the pic shows the wreck and not the intact truck.
Regards
Bert

Re: Vehicle identity requests
Hello Bertram
That is a interessting meening. But what is with the Opel-Blitz 3t, often used by the red cross with the " Einheitskoffer"? Why not a Borgward 3t, and what is with the Borward 3t with the wooden body on rail?
We need for an exectly answer a side pic from the wreck.
So I think we get a compromise : yes a Borgward/HL, but the Type???
best regards

Re: Vehicle identity requests
Hi Sturm:
Your last vehicle is an AEC Matador 4x4 tractor with the "streamlined" roof and not a version one sees very often.

'Tis indeed, Bill.
George, your destroyed Red Cross vehicle is an Austin K2Y, as I think is the one that's down to a frame on the left of the picture. Anyone identify anything else in that photo?

Hi all,
A very interesting image from Ebay. I think in a Mercedes-Benz L4500 truck with artillery or pionier body but I am not sure. Which is your opinion? I've never seen this.

Re: Vehicle identity requests
Hi Sturm:
Based on the arrangement of the cooling louvres in the hood/bonnet, the shape of the radiator guard and the type of wheels, I would agree with you that your personnel transport truck is a Benz L4500 S version.

Re: Vehicle identity requests
Hi Sturm, hi Bill,
thank You very much for posting this pic of an extreme rare vehicle I think.
In the book "Militärfahrzeuge of the Wehrmacht" by Kurt Rieger and Uwe Feist there are two pics of such a vehicle of Büssing-Nag, determined as an anti-aircraft artillery-measurement range truck.
Isn´t it the cross-country version of Mercedes-Benz L 4500 A like the Büssing ?

Bert
