Opel Blitz (German for ""lightning"") was the name given to various light and middle-weight truck series built by the German automobile manufacturer Opel from 1930. This book focuses on the light version of the Blitz lorry deployed by the Wehrmacht during World War II: Opel Blitz type 3,5-134 & 3,5-157; Opel Blitz type 2,0-12; Opel Blitz type 2,5-35; Opel Blitz type 5200. In this volume the author provides a detailed impression of these vehicles through original photographs, taken both during and before the war by the normal German soldiers who both used and served with these now classic lorries.
