The Opel Blitz was the main truck used by German forces during the Second World War.

Thanks to the sturdy frame, the robust system of rigid axles with leaf springs, and the twin-wheels on the back, the Opel Blitz was able to carry a payload of over 3 tons. The 3,600 cc. the engine was easy to maintain and provided 75 hp. Thanks to its great flexibility it was the development platform for several special outfits and versions as the Kfz. 385 “Tankwagen” used as the most common refilling truck by German Luftwaffe. Thanks to the good of the road characteristics, the vehicle was also able to operate on emergency landing fields without pitch which, during the conflict, characterized the air bases in Africa and in Russia.
