Seen in Wikipedia: Quote From 1939, the reliable Blitz 3.6 three-ton version was used in large numbers by the German Wehrmacht armed forces throughout World War II. It doesn't mean that this one is a 3-ton model, but it's for sure not a "small" version.

Thanks for this picture, andrepa, which can be kept as reference indeed. And which allow us to identify this truck as a 1936-44 3-tonne truck. _____ It seems that no 3 To truck exists in the IMCDb with this as part of the model name, only as complement. Are the 3,5t really 3.5 tonnes models, or is it a mistake? And what about the 3,6? -- Last edit: 2015-06-01 00:31:37
