Double axle German Truck WW2
 

Hello.

I was trying to identify a German Truck used in WW2. Unlike the Opel Blitz, it has a dual rear axles. I know Hanomag, Bussing and MAN all supplied heavier style truck sfor the German Army. Anyone know where I could find some reference photos ?

Thanks.
Paul.

Believe the Krupp Kfz and the Steyr 640 were 6x4, would help if we had your truck photo to work with.

Have a look at these

Sorry, only got the one photo. Not much to go on I'm afraid. Thanks for your help.

Perhaps you have seen the following before, work your way down the page and you will come to German trucks.

Hanomag Henschel?
(Just a SWAG)

Is that a King Tiger tank with a Porsche turret?

Not exactly the same, see last photo - but close

I would venture to suggest it might be at the end of the war and the truck may be an American Diamond T, Kenworth or the like the back box suggests a wrecker with a boom pointing rearwards. The tank is a Jagdtiger Heavy Tank destroyer the most powerful amoured vechicle of ww2...Regards Alan

Think your right and that explains the barrel difference

Who's a clever boy then?

They reckon only three Jagdtigers survive; they are on display in military museums in USA, UK and Russia
