Product Description
With the quick advances of their mechanized Blitzkrieg tactics, vehicles were needed to move
the German army commanders and generals from place to place as their army pushes forward.
One such vehicle was a 4-door version of the Austrian Steyr 1500A/01 light truck, which was
powered by an 85hp 8-cylinder engine and had good cross-country performance. As this was a
commander"s vehicle, modifications included a more spacious 5-person cabin as opposed to
the truck"s 8-person capacity. The cabin was also fitted with leather seats and a front passenger
seat that could recline to form a bed. High-level German commanders on all fronts used them as
their personal vehicles.
