Hi all.
On some Opel Blitz models and photos there's a plate sized triangle on top of the cab; anyone know what it is and what it did?
Cheers :)
It was to signify if the vehicle was towing or not. If up there was something on tow or so I read on another forum once.
Thanks NTM. :)
That's just odd. What purpose would that serve and to who?

Military police on traffic control perhaps, engineers loading onto ferries, ...
Another example of the huns ruthless efficiency ;) ;D
I was told that it was indeed used to signal if the truck was towing or not, by the father of a girlfriend at uni. He'd been an artillery officer during the war and said it had been a legal requirement from about 1930 to 1950. He couldn't remember exact dates.
Of course, I was some foreign oik, dating his only daughter so entirely possible I was having my leg pulled but I don't think so.
Thanks guys, great info :)
