Hello! Looking for help with identification of this bus! Any thoughts on what model is this?

Opel

Hi there,

This looks like an Opel Blitz bus to me. Individual styles of buses are very difficult to ID, but this appears like a former tourist bus (high viewing windows on the top edges), and this type of bus may have been made by Doebelner Coachwork Factory in Saxony.

Cheers

Steve is quite correct.
Here is a pic of a Wehrmacht specific bus that shows the same front end.

Stive and Bill! Thank you very much! I appreciate your help!

This is the best what I can do with this photo after some treating in Photoshop but it looks a bit better than I posted before.

Hi Alexander:

Yes, I had to do the same to make sure of the grille/radiator mask.

As Steve so rightly points out, busses can sometimes be almost impossible to identify due to the large number of coachbuilders that all had their own designs.

For example, here is a Ludwig "Autobahn" bus on the same Opel chassis.

Hello! To me it looks like a Henschel type 33 truck but I confused how its side grilles looking (3 wide grooves). What will be thoughts on this truck: is this Henschel produced one with such modification of this part or it was produced under license of Henschel by Magirus?

Thanks in advance for any help!

There is another set of photos with vehicles to ID. All came from an album of a member 18 IR who was a driver in his unit (or he loved cars and bikes very much at least) since album is Klondike with photos of all sorts of vehicles. I appreciate any help with identification of photos from this album!

There are first five:

Motorbikes

Hi,

Motorbikes are both BMW R11's to me, working on the cars...

Ok,

Number 1 = Opel 4/20 Tourenwagen, built between 1928 and 1931
Number 2 = possibly a Hanomag 4/23, but the wheels don't seem right
Number 5 = Looks like an Adler Trumpf, but the louvres look like a Hanomag Sturm.... tough one.


Cheers
Steve

Hi Alexander/Steve:

The more modern car is a Hanomag Sturm as Steve suggests.

Here is a little better view of a similar car where you can see the engine hood louvers. Both Adler and Hanomag used a similar radiator mask ornament which as Steve also says, makes ID difficult sometimes if you have no other "clues".
