What is that !!?? Is it a Swedish pre-war Scana? And how did so many get into German hands?

There seems to be a continuous flow of period pictures on Ebay, showing Allied military vehicles in German service.

Attached are two pictures for sale now on Ebay. Two shots of the same Ford, misidentified as a Morris C8.

It was some ones pride and joy,

untill the German Army took it.

i think the top photo of before, was printed the wrong way round as the number plate is the wrong way. Bet they did not rub it down first. Photo from my collection.

On your bike with a Morris Truck on the Eastern Front. photo from my collection.

Keith Webb · #**217** 05-01-09, 20:59

There are lots of interesting Beute pics on the Axis History forum.

Here's a nice example of a CGT, marked as a Ford (their IDs are sometimes wonky such as Ford Cab 11 CMPs marked as Morris C8).

I notice some of us have already posted in there too.

some more photos from my collection, i cant read the german on the back of the first photo. any one help?

cletrac (RIP) · #**219** 21-02-09, 16:33

Kieth, your first pic is a Chev 15 cwt but the box is unique. It's a lot like the 2A1 but it has square wheel well openings. The only pix I've seen of British made boxes use 3 1/2" boards for the sides and this one uses 5 1/2" by the look of it. It doesn't have fold down sides and the POW can holders are mounted on their side instead of laying flat. The top of the endgate is flat too.

The first three show an Indian Pattern F15 15-cwt truck. These were delivered as chassis/cowls to India, where they were bodied locally.

The scribbling on the back is hard to read, all I could make out is Egypt and 1942.

HTH,
Hanno

Thanks for the info on the photo David and the german on the back Hanno

German Army has gone up market with this one.

Photo from my collection.

It's time to revive this excellent thread with pictures of what I believe is an Opel Blitz obviously driven by U.S. troops who want to make sure they don't experience any friendly fire incidents

CHIMO! Derek

I'm new to this forum and just catching up with the threads, some brilliant photos here , I'm very interested in the Battle for France and Brit/CMP vehicles used in the early years of the war.
The recovery of all the vehicles left behind at Dunkirk (80,000 I've read incl. motorcycles) must have been a massive operation has anyone seen any photos of this ?

It is actually not the language causing problems - but more the writing itself.

Second line: "In Aegypten - in Egypt"
Fourth line: "Sommer 42 - Summer '42"

Keith Brooker · #**237** 26-03-10, 01:55

Some more original photos of Austins from my book.

The Inscription reads : "In der Katarrasenke in Ägypten gemacht. Im Sommer 42" meaning "Photo taken in the Qattara Depression in Egypt. In summer 1942".
IIRC, the unpassable region south of El Alamein preventing Rommel to bypass the British positions.

Kuno · #**239** 26-03-10, 07:00

Very good.

servicepub (RIP) · #**240** 15-10-10, 03:15

I have no idea what make/model this truck is but there is no doubt who owned it when photographed.
