348 SANTIAGO ALVAREZ, THE GAS VANS<br />

Illustration 25: Opel Blitz, A-Type (=all wheel drive), 3 tons. Together<br />

with the S-Type (standard drive), almost 100,000 of this truck<br />

were delivered to the Wehrmacht during World War II, some built by<br />

Daimler Benz, Borgward, and Klöckner-Deutz under license. It came<br />

with a broad range of coachworks. Hence, there was nothing special<br />

about this truck at all. Engine: gasoline, 3,600 ccm, 6 cyl., 68 HP.<br />

With such an engine, its exhaust gases were lethal. (Picture from Milsom<br />

1975, p. 174)
