Opel (Opel Blitz)

Le camion Opel Blitz (1KW 3.6-36 s 3t Blitz) est un véhicule civil converti en véhicule militaire considéré comme " le cheval de trait " de la Wehrmacht. C'était en effet un camion à tout faire utilisé sur tous les fronts. Produit par milliers, il fut livré à tous les corps de l'armée: la marine, de l'aviation et les SS. Au début les Opel Blitz étaient peints en gris Panzer, mais dès juin 1943 ils furent livrés en jaune sable.
