History: Introduced before WWII, the German 3Ton 4×2 cargo truck became a workhorse of the Wehrmacht’s supply network. With over 78,000 units produced by July 1944, its role was crucial in maintaining the mobility and endurance of German forces. Used on all major fronts, from the vast Eastern Front to the deserts of North Africa, the vehicle’s reliability under harsh conditions earned it a lasting reputation as one of Germany’s most dependable support trucks of the war.
