I'm pretty sure this is Farley's German halftrack that he describes in his book as the one brought home using all his fake official stamps on made -up paperwork ,authorizing passage home as official war relics destined for the war musuem,which,in the end,he pulled off (his favorite remark was " Bullshit baffles brains").At one point in his convoy story of repatriating his collection,this half track was used to pull the trailer carrying the V1 rocket that he stole from the US Army off a railway flatcar(one forty ouncer did the trick to the befriended guard at the siding.)
