TRUCK

The Germans used a variety of different trucks. Especially as the war wore on an increasing number of confiscated civilian trucks could be spotted. The Opel Blitz however was one of the dominant models used by the Germans. The Opel Blitz trucks had a reputation of hardiness and being easy to repair, which made them well liked by the troops. Using gasoline instead of diesel they were also able to operate at lower temperatures than other trucks. Opel was a German daughter company of GM at the time and therefore the Opel Blitz was considered GM's contribution to German success. It was built from 1937 until the 1970s.
