DAK truck identification
 

Have you any idea about this truck?

Can it be a captured british truck?

The gun, is think is a 2 cm Flak 38

Thanks

Attilio

While I had the photo in Photoshop adjusting the brightness so I could make out the undercarriage I tried my hand at removing the printing.
It looks like a Ford rear end and a CMP pintle hitch. The box sides fold down like the 2A1 and the endgate is made from wider boards than the British versions. I'd guess it's a 1940 F15A and very early production since the endgate is straight across the top. Anybody else got any differing ideas?

Hi David:
I cannot answer Attilio's question but I have one of my own.

I have Photoshop 5 and I use only the barest functions, mostly regarding cropping and resizing to fit Forums like this one.

Is there a special command or box or something to get rid of the overprinting on photos??

I realize there are always questions surrounding images one captures off the net, but at least as it regards German photos, they are not copyright protected.

In my case, I have copied a lot of images off of ebay.de over the last 5 years. As I try to be discerning, most of them are good images and get sold. The seller is happy, the buyer is happy and I have just a digital image of the real thing that is in somebodys collection.

As I only use these images as reference materiel for my hobby and to help others ID their photos, I make no money on the transfer of the images to my PC.

To the point of my question, it would be nice to get rid of all the scribbles, circles and imprints on these photos to be able to better ID the vehicles etc.

Any help would be appreciated.

Bill, it's not quite as easy as a one button click to get rid of that printing. I use the clone tool and select a brush diameter about the same width as the lines of the letters. I also select the fuzzy edge brush so what you do doesn't leave a sharp edge. Zoom in on the part you want to fix and select a spot right beside the letter that's the right colour and texture you need, then clone that onto the letter. With a little practice, it's fairly easy. On this picture, it took me maybe two minutes to eliminate the printing.
As for copyright, I'll leave that to others, but I suppose that if I modify a non-copyright photo, then I'd have the copyright on the new image? Who knows?
