The Opel Blitz was one of the most widely used German transport vehicles of World War 2. Originally a civilian vehicle, it existed in several versions. The most well-known 3 ton 2x4 and 4x4 chassis was used for a variety of purposes, including cargo truck, tanker truck, different utility vehicles for V2-rockets, ambulance, and radio truck. A lighter 1.5 ton version also existed, as well as a half-track version, the Opel Maultier (mule).
