The bulk of Wehrmacht transport of World War 2 was in the 3-ton payload range. The best known truck in this class, aside from the Opel Blitz S, was the Henschel Typ 33. It is creditable that a peacetime design that saw the light of day as early as 1934 (when mass production for the Reichswehr was launched) survived for such a long time in the treadmill of World War 2. Even more amazingly, it did not have any major need of modernisation or modification. The Henschel 33 was capable of functioning under the harshest of wartime conditions. This publication describes the history, technology, variants, production batches and wartime service of the Henschel 33 3-ton 6x4 in unprecedented detail. Illustrated throughout with 142 black&white photographs.
