...are there truck-mounted guns on pic no. 1 (right side of the pic)?

@Kuno

Yep, looks like light AA (Flak) to me.

Cool. Did not know that such was available then....

Chris:

Thanks so much for these new photos.

Note in the third the row of Peugot umbau cars, never seen these before.

Are there any Swiss historical sites on the Internet that could offer more photos of pre WWII and WWII softskin vehicles??

I spent a small fortune on the only three Swiss books I could find on the subject and they were very lacking in photos of the 1935-1945 era, very disappointing....

Anyway, thanks again.

... Here's the official information from the army file. Every car ever in the Swiss army has (should have) such a file. Luckily, I've got now access via a good friend.

This car M+7114 is a Chevrolet 4x4, built 1939, first date of homologation January 12 1940, Engine 19/80 HP, 6 cylinder. 90.49x96.8 mm ACK 101-002, 4 seats, Weight 1'930 kg. Body most likely built by Carrosserie Langenthal.

Hope this helps.
Greetings
Chris
