Slowcoach
Yes it must have been lumbering but academic if you were fighting in close combat in the rubble of Warsaw. It just needed I suppose to get down a road and then do the business.
I have now found a photo of what was it seems a 1938 German Reichs Postal Service armoured 3-ton truck which was a modified panel van. This was captured on 14 August 1944 and then used as an improvised armoured car until it was damaged by a bomb. The cab reminds me of Antwerp-built cabs as seen in Wheels & Tracks and may therefore have been a Belgian or Dutch truck that was sequestred by the Germans in 1940..perhaps a baker's van?
I would be interested to know if any sequestred Chevrolets survived to be captured by the allies and then sold off at auction for further service post-war on the continent.
