Default Truppensattler

... here is a period pic from the "Handbuch für Truppensattler" (manual for saddlers), dated 1954. It shows a Blitz with registration no M+37125.

Greetings
Chris

... a parked F60S along a Saurer/FBW/Berna and GMC. Notice the Sherman tank between the Blitz and Saurer. Therefore pic (most likely) taken in Thun.

Kuno Gross wrote 'here in Switzerland they were known as "Ford Canada"'.
