TP002 -- The Opel ‘BLITZ’ Truck

A very familiar sight in any German vehicle convoy during WW2. Between 1939 and 1945 many thousands of these trucks served all of the German Armed Forces. The 3-ton version was the most numerous. Although K&C produced a polystone and metal model some years back this is our first all-metal "BLITZ”. Painted in traditional fieldgrey the open back allows for soldiers or supplies to be put into the vehicles.

The second of our tinplate trucks is now rolling off the production line.
