hello all, here is a good pic of some transport vehicles of the 3rd infantry division (mot). They look like Dodge trucks to me. Mike

this close up of the right fender of the next ruck in line.. Looks like a K and a few other numbers. any thoughts?

[John F.]

Can't read the bumper number on that 2nd truck but it looks like the 3rd Panzer Grenadier Division shared the same "Lorraine Cross" symbol as the U.S. 79th ID.

Yes I just noticed that the 3rd panzer gren. div. used this as well. Now I wonder which one these vehicles belong to.

Well, Mike, 3.Inf.div.(mot.) was renamed to 3.Pz.Gren.Div. in 1943. I recommend you to spend time in the very good www.lexikon-der-wehrmacht.de site.

May I ask you what is on the door of the second truck? The marking on the fender appears to me like a supply column Taktische Zeichen + "K2" (this K has nothing to do Kleist).

Akira, Thanks for the link. I had lost all my stored links when I had a computer meltdown and I am slowly rebuilding. As for the number on the door it is a 3. I am assuming since the truck in the fore ground has a 2 on the door the photographer may have been in #1. Thanks again Mike
