I don't know how to post links but the video link is given on the G503 'Other MV's US' forum under the 'Trucks 1/2 ton thru 2 ton' heading and titled 'We all need roads to drive on'. the trailer can be seen at about 10 minutes 30.

Terrific CMP photos. Thanks for posting.

Does anyone know how sales of this surplus actually worked in Europe after the war? I assume War Assets in Canada did not open branch offices overseas, say at Deelen, Holland, for example.

Were the vehicles given to the Dutch Gov't for disposal? Did the Dutch act as trustees for disposal? Did Canada just walk away from all the equipment?

More times you look at these pictures, the more details you find.
You can see 4 FAT-5 7B3 Body in the convoy. Each two observation hatches on its soft roof



At that time, we also received Willys CJ2A jeeps
