hi everybody,
Just a quick question here. When talking about Blitzs, what is the difference between a MB-C1 and a MB-C2 manual? I don't know myself, I'm thinking is it year of publication? A revised edition? Or maybe it covers completely different topics?
Can anybody help?

The MB-C1 was the first printing of the GM maintenance manual...THe MB-C2 was the final version ,which covered all the stuff in the MB-C1 and later additional information..The last printing was September 1943..
Additional information and modifications came out and went out from the factory to the military in the form of Service Bullitins.THese were distributed to service shops and field units and vehicle and parts depots.The was a series out in 1942 and the final series was in 1943..
THese manuals can be found on my web site...
