Hi Oliver,

Surely you have been readin the other thread on MH trucks for the NEI.

One of the KNIL (Dutch colonial army) myths is that a lot of their deperately awaited shipments with trucks, tanks etc, were diverted to Russia after the fall of the NEI. I have never seen proof of this.

Did you ever come across any info relating NEI orders that were delivered to the SU after March 1942?

Logically, these would have become shipments to the Russian Far East?

Incoming shipments included most likely:
-Ford Jeeps (GP or GPW)
-light Ford/MH trucks,
-1 1/2 ton Ford/MH 4x4 trucks,
-Chevrolet G-series 1 1/2 ton 4x4's
-possibly heavier 6x6 Ford/MH chassis,
-White Scout cars,
-M3 light tanks,
-artillery/ordnance.

A lot was transferred to Australia or the Dutch West-Indies, but you never know.

If there was such a thing as NEI shipments diverted to the SU, this might give us some insight in what the NEI had actually ordered...

If there is nothing. than we can say we tried...

Thanks in advance
Nuyt
