Title: german trucks
Post by: Jim Ando on 21 November 2012, 08:35:29 PM
Hi

I`m doing a mid-late 42 german army and need some trucks for my motorized infantry.

Question is which trucks, Protz or blitz or both.

I love the look of the protz trucks but are they too early for my chosen army.

Cheers

I'm in the process of reading a book on Operation Barbarossa and from memory they had around 1,200 different tanks, AFVs, trucks etc at the start of the invasion. I've also seen footage of troops surrendering in Austria in 1945 on every type of transport imaginable.

So cutting to the quick, a mix of everything and anything to be honest, even captured Russian equipment. Hope this helps.

French trucks are also very good - as huge numbers were captured then pressed into service in russia
