Description
German WWII airfield fuel servicing truck using the chassis of the well known 3-ton Opel Blitz 3.6-3000 truck. Production began in 1941 and continued until 1943, during which time several hundred of this type of truck were produced. Despite their relatively small numbers, their use was very intensive, from North Africa to the Eastern Front. The fuel servicing truck was suitable for the supply of fuel to many different types of Luftwaffe aircraft, and in the last few months of the war some machines of this type were employed by units equipped with the Me 262 jet fighter.
