Help to Id. truck

gandalf · Corporal

The Imperial Eagle on the side of the truck is the National Identification Mark for German soft skinned vehicles like trucks. The symbol on the top of the cab is the Cross of Lorraine which ususally was used by the French and Eastern Europeans. It is probably a formation symbol - possibly for a Division.In WWII� the German� 79th Infantry Division used the cross as its insignia because its first attack was in the Lorraine region.

Hope this helps.

May be you can ID this one too?

The first one might be a DUX, or is it a NAG?

Yes, you are probably right. it looks very much like a DUX. In the first photo, what is that on top of the radiator?

The first pic bears a strong resemblance to an Opel .
