Can anyone identify this?

It does look like the Dodge, the wheels hubs look the same too. Here is what was written on the rear of the photo, it is in German:

Bob,

Can't help with IDing the vehicle, but the writing in the back reads:
"auf eine meine gefahren" = ran over a mine
"unser fahrzeug" = our vehicle
As the German driver wrote it was their vehicle, it was obviously used captured and used by them.

HTH,
Hanno

Hano, thanks for the translation and explains the jerry can.

It might easily be Russian GAZ-M415 pick-up.
It was Ford-based vehicle produced before and during WW2.
Might be captured on the East front.

Slava, You may be correct, here is a walk around and it matches perfectly.

The side view is pretty much spot on. It's remarkable how much it looked like a Dodge to me, but then I don't know the contemporary Fords at all.

Some people say cars all look the same these days....

Truth is within a certain time frame they all do! It's a matter of what's in fashion, the style buyers fancy at any given time. One sets the standard and other manufacturers respond to that. Of course in this case it was even an outright copy.
