History:
The 3t 3.6-36S truck was developed in pre-war Germany as a medium-duty transport and was quickly adapted for military service. The PmQ-type cab, a pressed metal design, became widespread for use across many support vehicles. The fuel tanker variant saw action across Europe and North Africa, supplying aviation fuel, diesel and petrol to Luftwaffe and Wehrmacht units. Their robust construction, simple mechanics and capacity for modification made them a reliable backbone of German supply logistics throughout World War II.
