Post your unidintified vehicle photos here.

Hello Bill,

I wonder, since the photo is taken in Brest, if they seized the entire stock of the Packard importer either there or perhaps in Paris.

I imagine you're right. These photos are part of the album to which 3 inspection tours (French atlantic coast, northern Germany, eastern Germany) of the Japanese Navy Commission in Germany are recorded, and I have noticed that the Packards are not used for inspections in Germany.

Here is a photo taken in Zoppot/Sopot (Danzig).

Here are photos taken during visit of the Marineehrenmal in Laboe.

Truck with 2 cm flaK 38

Can you help me to identify the truck with the flak 2 cm mod 38 on the rear bed.

It is really a Mercedes-Benzi L5000?

Thanks

Attilio

What kind of truck is this?

[Bill Murray]

I believe it is a Fiat 634. If I am correct, it is a fairly rare vehicle I think as you do not see many of them.

Here's one of a vehicle park in Gent (Belgium). Perhaps the vehicles could help giving a date estimation to this photo?

Hi Tim:
Another great and unusual shot!!

I count 8 vehicles and from left to right this is what I can ID.

Unknown bus
Unknown bus but it is American origin as far as I can tell.
Unknown bus
Diamond T bus
British Austin 30 cwt lorry
I believe this to be a Steyr, a 220 probably
Unknow American car, possibly a Chrysler product
Buessing Nag and looks like a 4500 or more likely the predecessor the 500.
If so on the last, it could be 1940.
Almost forgot, you can also see the nose of a Bedford MW at the far right, also indicating 1940ish.

Thanks for sharing your great knowledge once again Bill. An interesting mix of German and captured vehicles.

Here is an unkown, at least to me, vehicle. I suspect it is French but have no confirmation on that.

Hi Mike/Naxos:
Mike, your little vehicle is a Steyr 250 Cross Country Personnel Carrier 4X2. Based on a light truck chassis, around 1200~ produced 1938/40.

Naxos, your first vehicle is a 1941 model Ford. Most likely a beute due to the split windscreen, not seen on German Fords. The other vehicle is a Renault AHS beute.

Thanks Bill! 1200 produced, well I am not surprised I haven't seen one yet.
Take care and hope all is going well for you and the family.

Mike

I've heard of eagle-eyed experts who can identify a vehicle by only seeing a corner of its front bumper... I'm hoping someone here can do the same with this rear view of a truck. I've got a bunch of Feldpost letters that go together with this guy's photos, and in one of them, he states they captured a Russian truck (it only had 350km on the odometer) into which they mounted the company field-kitchen. I presume this photo shows the motorised kitchen. Can anyone ID this truck? Is it Russian/Lend Lease?

Thanks!
Jason Mark
