[Image] Identify this vehicle

[Trotskygrad]

was at a warsaw uprising reenactment in Wroclaw a while back, saw this interesting pairing of a FlaK 38 with a truck.

Is this a one-off vehicle or was this common?

 

[THunter]

Doubt its real. Probably a mock up of whatever it is.

Would need to see more of the vehicle. Also the towns name is Breslau.

What's with the hate against Polish names of these cities (here with Wrocław/ Breslau, in my thread Gdańsk/Danzig)? It's not like they appeared only after WWII, bier, and definitely not like they were an artificial creation to drive home the change in their ethnical make-up following WWII and the resettlements. Those Polish names have been around for centuries, and seeing as those two cities are currently part of Poland (and have been off and on across the centuries as well), it is entirely logical and legitimate to call them what they currently are: Gdańsk and Wrocław; whereas calling them Danzig and Breslau is, to my eyes, some sort of a political manifesto and illogical given their present status (note: in both threads we're talking of those cities NOW, not in a specific era in history).

Do you go to other threads and insist on calling Kaliningrad — Koenigsberg? Szczecin — Stettin? etc. etc.

What are your precise motives, bier?

They're interchangeable.

If you're speaking German, call it Breslau.

If you're speaking Polish, call it Wroclaw.

I don't see what's so hard here.

As for another photo, you might have to zoom a bit

Was drunk yesterday and wanted to troll a bit. But as usual when drunk it was posting stupid ****.

Looks like a Horch 108 to me; afaik, those weren't usually coupled with Flak guns, but someone more knowledgeable might disagree?

Mercedes Benz 1500 series? Reminds me of the the truck in COD UO multiplayer.

also known as "schwerer Einheits-Pkw"

The majority of all chassis was fitted with Mannschaftsbauten open, but there were also radio and ambulances with closed bodywork. A few vehicles were even equipped with the 20 mm Flak 30 In the front line, the heavy unit Cars proven limited. The sophisticated four-wheel steering was problematic because of the driving behavior was mostly unused or sometimes even later rebuilt to conventional two-wheel steering.
