The Opel Blitz was the key German truck associated with Second World War. It had been significantly applied to all fronts as well as in huge figures. As a result of this Opel Blitz can be viewed the "working mule" of Wehrmacht. As a result of the sturdy framework, the robust system of rigid axles with leaf springs plus the twin-wheels on the back, Opel Blitz was able to achieve a payload over 3 tons. The Opel 3,600 cc. motor of 3,600, very easy to maintained, provided an electric of 75 hp. The most popular type ended up being the 4x2 with rear wheel drive. However, there was a 4x4 version that has operated in both Russian lands or in African deserts. As a result of its flexibility and its own wide rear cargo area, the Opel Blitz had been also used in duties besides the pure transport such as for instance platform for anti-aircraft weapons, ambulance, tanker, mobile workshop, command post.
