Historical Application

The Opel Blitz was one of the most important transport vehicles used by the German army (Wehrmacht) during the Second World War, from 1939 to 1945. The early version with “commercial pattern” tires was widely used in the early stages of the war, including the campaigns in Poland and France, and later in North Africa and on the Eastern Front. The commercial tread pattern was typical for early production years, and in reality, many vehicles were equipped with these wheels until supplies were depleted.
