Seems very likely that US companies were still supplying rearmament trucks to the Reich right up until her entry into the war, current research seems to be confirming commercial links during the conflict too.
I love trucks. Blitz, OY, FAT, Horch, Bussing NAG, Jimmy, Chevy, etc. etc. They fascinate me, reading 'Wheels & Tracks' is a great pleasure. Yet I still don't understand what this is all about
. The much-vaunted mechanised might of the Wehrmacht was propped up on shaky equine shoulders, this is, perhaps surprisingly to some, true.
CB? are you just attempting to clarify numbers, as the question implies or is there some subtext that I'm missing?
Nice to have 4 or 5 Opels on paper but not so useful to have them being towed in a long slithering train through foot deep mud and snow by the very AFV's they're supposed to be rushing about supporting.
Cheers,
Adam.
Edit: Cross-posted with Za's 2 above, can confirm the German use of British trucks from Dunkirk to the extent that they remanufactured many modifying the bodywork to their own designs.
