EINHEITS DIESEL TRUCK

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.). 

With the transition from the Reichswehr to the Wehrmacht intentions grew to create a standardised truck design for the army. The result was the ‘Light, Off-road-capable Standardised Truck 6x6 Type HWA 526 D', or short ‘Einheits-Diesel' that was built by almost all German truck manufacturers based on one unified design. In the early war years its robustness, reliability and superior off-road-capabilities made it a legend. This publication shows the development history, background of purchase as well as the numerous variants of the Einheits-Diesel in many hitherto unpublished photographs.
