Opel Blitz/maultier

Few vehicles embody the logistical backbone of the German war machine quite like the Opel Blitz. From the scorching sands of North Africa to the quagmire of the Eastern Front, this iconic truck hauled troops, supplies, and weapons across every theatre. Available in both the 2-wheel drive Type S and the more versatile 4-wheel drive “Allrad” version, the Blitz was a sturdy workhorse that proved easily adaptable as a radio truck, tanker, or even a makeshift anti-aircraft platform mounting 20mm or 37mm cannons—and in some cases, the fearsome Flakvierling 38.
