About The Opel Blitz
The Opel Blitz was the main truck used by German forces during the Second World War and served on every front in large numbers. Its sturdy frame, rigid axles with leaf springs, and twin rear wheels enabled a payload of over 3 tons. Powered by a 3,600 cc engine delivering 75 hp, the most common configuration was 4x2 rear-wheel drive, with a 4x4 variant also operating in Russia and the North African desert. Owing to its flexibility and wide rear cargo area, the Opel Blitz was adapted for various roles, including as a mobile command post fitted with radio equipment for battlefield management of ground troops.
