Something similarly hidden would work equally well on any vehicle.
Come to think of it, there is a cut off valve on the main fuel line of the M38A1. It sits low near or on the frame rail under the hood.

Default power shut off

Yes there is a fuel shut off there in the fuel line. I often thought of shutting it off to stop a would be thief but alas as Rob says only the honest ones would be stopped. Plus it is so old and in need of replacement it would probably break on me in the closed position! So I too put a switch in under the hood that looks like well a plug for a hole or a tap for coolant flow. It does what I assumt the switch on the Iltis does dissconect the power from the batteries? That's what mine does and when it's raining hard yep you guessed it I forget hop in and nothing...Time to get wet. That's the least of my worries here on the coast!
