Fighting for the Enemy
Developed from 1939, the AHN 3.5ton truck had had prototypes produced, but before it could be manufactured France fell in June 1940. The conquering German forces saw potential in the design, however, and continued its development, eventually producing it for their own use. Lightweight and enduring, the AHN was well-suited to mass-production, and was easily recognizable thanks to its cabover design. It was powered by a 75hp 6-cylinder engine. Some 4,000 were manufactured between 1941 and 1944, serving on the Eastern Front and Italy, transporting personnel and supplies, even towing artillery.
About the 3.7cm Flak 37 AA Gun
The 3.7cm anti-aircraft gun was a mainstay for German WWII troops. Firing 6-round clips at a maximum rate of 160 rounds per minute, it was deployed in Luftwaffe anti-aircraft units, used as a counter to incoming low-altitude Allied aircraft.
