        The Opel Blitz was the main truck used by German forces during the Second World War. It was deployed extensively on all fronts in huge numbers and was consequently considered to be the “working mule” of the Wehrmacht. Thanks to the sturdy frame, the robust system of rigid axles with leaf springs and the twin wheels on the back, the Opel Blitz was able to carry a payload of over 3 tons. The  3,600 cc engine was easy to maintain and provided 75 hp. Thanks to its great flexibility, it was the development platform for several special outfits and versions, such as the Kfz. 385 "Tankwagen" was used as the most common refilling truck by the German Luftwaffe. Thanks to its good off-road characteristics, the vehicle was also able to operate on emergency landing fields without pitch, which, during conflict, characterized the air bases in Africa and Russia. The vehicle was equipped with a rear fuel tank with a relative pumping system, a simplified cabin with a fabric roof and a silencer with an exhaust system repositioned to allow the safe refilling of airplanes.
