Overvalwagen "Krupp type"
Hello,
I think I have solved the "1936 Krupp" type on the Swedish website.
"A Photo History of Armoured Cars in Two World Wars" by George Forty, 1984 Blandford Press, Dorset.
Page 97 shows a Stadswacht type with this text: "Krupp armoured personell carrier, 1936. These German-built APCs were used in the Dutch East Indies".
Next page 98. Text: "Improvised armoured car. One of a number of improvised armoured cars used in the Dutch East Indies, probably based on a Ford chassis. Others were based on Chrysler, GMC and Van Dorne civilian-built vehicles".
And the picture on page 98 shows a purpose-built AC with a man with KNIL bamboo-hat looking out of it. A Krupp on trials in NEI?
Anyhow I think that the texts and pictures have been mixed up by misstake.
Greetings,
Stellan
