HENSCHEL 33 3-ton 6x4 Trucks in Reichswehr and in Wehrmacht Service

Ogni volume contiene una carrellata di foto dei più rari e “strani” veicoli militari dell’esercito imperiale tedesco della Reichwehr e della Wehrmacht del periodo che va dal 1914 alla fine del secondo conflitto mondiale. Automobili, camion, mezzi corazzati, motociclette, veicoli ad uso speciale (forni da campo, ecc.). 

The bulk of Wehrmacht transport of World War 2 was in the 3-ton payload range. The best known truck in this class, aside from the Opel Blitz S, was the Henschel Typ 33. It is creditable that a peacetime design that saw the light of day as early as 1934 (when mass production for the Reichswehr was launched) survived for such a long time in the treadmill of World War 2. Even more amazingly, it did not have any major need of modernisation or modification. The Henschel 33 was capable of functioning under the harshest of wartime conditions. This publication describes the history, technology, variants, production batches and wartime service of the Henschel 33 3-ton 6x4 in unprecedented detail.
