"Ruhe an den/ein? ufer"

 

(Rest on a riverbank, seafront).

 

 

Thank you Enigma ! ;)

Re Frederic's post 179, the Opel Admiral is in Russia (first word, next to the date), and I think that the first words read "Rest on the shore of the ? Sea". What do the Germans call the Baltic Sea, I wonder?

 

John.

 

Thank you so much John for your help ;)

They call it the Ostsee, but the description on post 179 is clearly much longer than that!

Bill Murray needs to know what this one is ... any ideas ?

 

--------------------------

 

The vehicle pictured here (and sorry for the quality, but wartime photos from Russia in the 1941-1943 time period tended to be a little scratchy) is either a 1500-A or 2000-A Mannschaftswagen (Crew or Troop Transport)

 

Several prototypes were made by Auto-Union but the production versions were done by Steyr,Phänomen, Auto-Union using the licensed Steyr design and Mercedes for the most part in the 1942-1944 time period.

 

This particular vehicle is totally different from any version I have ever seen and after over 5 hours of research I am no further than the first 5 minutes. It resembles the 3 photos I have of the Auto-Union prototypes, two different ones, but it has an entirely different motor hood.

 

I have a sinking feeling that the answer is obvious and I am just missing a brain cell or two as to what make it is but I just cannot retrieve it.

 

Perhaps one of our WWII buffs or one of our European members has a clue.

 

Thanks for any assistance.
