Blitz
That's a bit of a long story... the word blitz of course is German for lightning and was applied to a number of things during the war with typical allied irreverence... the first use I've seen came from the Western desert where the cab 12s were called Blitz Buggies or Desert Blitz, and it seems to have stuck.
There was a good thread on the old forum which I'm sure Hanno can find for us which covered some of the names they have in other countries such as puddle jumpers in NZ for the C8AX...
