Post# 86 looks like a 1940 (1.5 ton) Chevrolet, being used by the SS... It may very well be Eastern Europe. Very interesting to see a captured British vehicle brought back from the desert and still in use...

The German did not take captured vehicles with them when they retreated from North Africa. They barely had enough shipping available for the soldiers and armoured vehicles. So if this is Eastern Europe, the truck must have come from elswehere. Quote:

Possible early Lend Lease from Canada....
Leassed to the Russian who shared with the German army.......
Amazing that some vehicles made it from North Afrika to Italy than shipped to Southern France and then driven to the Holland for battle...... the amazing number of cab 12 that survived is amazing and a testament to their strong built and ongoing field repairs..... basically if it ran it was used in battle..... all the while the new accumulating vehicle inventory sat in fields in England with limited means to move them to the front fast enough..... but GM and Ford and others still cranked them out.....

Early CMPs
Has anyone found any early CMPs with wooden bodies in NW Europe 1944-45?
BTW - I think the F30 (Registration PFF503) posted awhile ago by Hanno is a later No.12 Cab vehicle with a donated early body and not built like that (Hanno I have sent you a PM)

F15A cab 12 with missing bonnet and retro-fitted roof hatch in Fécamp (France), september 1944.
The truck has a census number starting with "42" which would indicate a Canadian unit, yet the guys in the back are no. 47 Royal Marine Commando. source:https://erenow.net/ww/47-royal-marin...43-1946/14.php
