G'day Fellow MLUers,
As a kid I always knew the CMP trucks just by the name "blitz". What I did not know, then or now, is how they became associated with the name. In fact it was only last year that I became familar with the CMP name for blitz trucks. As they were just always called Blitzs.
I know that in WWII London endured the German bombing and it was called the "blitz". Also that nice police officers set up booze buses when the have a "blitz" for drink drivers. Oh and as a kid the band The Sweet had a hit the Ballroom Blitz.
So how did such a name get stuck on CMP trucks in Australia. Or are its origins lost or corrupted over time?
Kind Regards
Lionel
