Hello,

On the attached picture you can see a stadswacht overvalwagen, mistakenly called a Krupp APC on a Swedish site. There are some references that these trucks were based on Krupp chassis. This misunderstanding probably arose from the fact that two Wilton-Feijenoord armoured cars were briefly in service in the NEI in the early thirties. These were based on German chassis and were an inspiration for a German design called Krupp Gepanzerte Radfahrzeug (a 6x4 vehicle).

Kind regards,

Nuyt

Both 1936 and Krupp seems wrong. I would suggest Stadswacht Batavia 1941.
