Have here a english car in german duty






Gr Ralf

Feld Marshal Erwin Rommel's favourite vehicle in North Africa was a captured British Humber Command Car.
Something else about Rommel in the Desert was the sand goggles he wore attached to his cap were actually part of the eye protection that was kept in a side pocket in a British Army Respirator (Gas Mask).

Frontmask is easy to build in scratch and the size will go togheter with a wpl truck

Think i found a future projekt so i think Jugoslavia or Greece , Polizei Division or Prinz Eugen

Being trapped at Dunkirk, meant the BEF leaving thousands of vehicles behind. The Wehrmacht relied heavily on horses for transportation in WW2, and so were very grateful for any wheels the Brits left behind.
The Universal Carrier was very popular with German troops, for example, and many had to be abandoned (if hastily hobbled) on the road to Dunkirk, and on the beaches.
This example looks like the 4WD Bedford 15 CWT (Hundredweight) G5. Here's another example. It remained in British hands throughout the War. It worked both ways, however, as the Brits managed to acquire a fair bit of German equipment during the war (including Tiger 131 ). Then again, this Spitfire became a particular favourite among Luftwaffe pilots during the War. It crashlanded, and was put back into flying condition by Luftwaffe engineers...but with a massive difference: a Daimler-Benz engine. The resultant hybrid 'MesserSpit' (Mk V Spitfire +
Messerschmidt Daimler-Benz engine, wiring, and guns) was faster than the Spitfire, and could outmanoeuvre the BF109. https://aviationhumor.net/messerspit-th ... ire-en830/
