Hi this is no windshield but a windshield heater that was on the inside of the shield and with all the rubber it created an airpocket that was heated with the wires to get warm to the windshield. You could control the heat by the knob. Tag says that the apparatus is regulated for 6 Volts and gives instructions how to fix it to the inside.

Porsche had experience on electric drive. The Austrian Hungarian Army had the M16 Generatorzugwagen C Zug where a tractor with an electric generator provided power to itself and the trailers to move great loads up small mountain roads or could travel on rails. He came from a electric company first to Lohner and then to Austro Daimler. The Mercedes Mixte was his brainchild too.

Even the Austrian Army got some leftover High Speed Tractors when the Allied Forces left the country in 1955.
See this facebook Video of the Traditionsverband Heereskraftfahrwesen.
Here more info provided in english

To the Austrian connection i can say that it is possible. Austria german helmets were used after the war. The badge reminds me of Austrian Gendarmerie and i can think of that they were used. At least the Voluntary Fire Corps used them well into the eighties.

Just want to say that the Dorotheum auction is probably taking place in Austria!
Austrian Army had to reduce its vehicle stock because of cuting the cost of servicing and repairs and Dorotheum bought the Pinzgauers and auctions their stock from time to time.
As far as i know it is possible to get green plates at most insurance company offices in Austria for 3 till 23 days but you need an austrian equivalent of MOT and i don't think that the Dorotheum Pinzgauers have this as the Army is MOT exempted. But just ask them.
Here is a link to the government site regarding these green plates but only in german. https://www.help.gv.at/Portal.Node/hlpd/public/content/6/Seite.061900.html

Kettenrad=Chain wheel
Kettenkrad as already said is Ketten= Chains and Krad abbreviation of Kraftrad=Motorcycle.
a tracked vehicle translates in german as "Kettenfahrzeug"
There are some pictures of the On Wheels And Track event on the Facebook page of the HGM. Even some British with bren carrier and a Alvis Stalwart of which the Austrian army had a few.

Tomorrow and Sunday there is a day with presentations of different military vehicles from collectors.
It is called " Auf Räder und Ketten" that translate to "On Wheels and Chains"
The Austrian Army got many surplus vehicles from the US after US, British, French and Russian Forces left Austria in 1955. Many UNNRA vehicles went to private owners to earn the money and even the fire brigades refurbished 4x4 vehicles for there use.

Waterbottle looks very Austrian but missing drinking cup
Interesting stuff
Collecting Austrian vehicles not necessarily military ones as there are no Austria in WW II and WW I are very rare.

Thanks for help to post the link.
I see now that when you click on the pages in the tread they become smaller instead of bigger so that one cannot read them.
Fascinating stuff to read and see in the "Allgemeine Automobil Zeitung" from 1900 till 1938 when Austria was closed down.
The "Austrian Touring Zeitung" ran from 1898 till 1938 is the magazine of the Austrian Touring Club which started with bicycles and then to motorcycles and cars. http://anno.onb.ac.at/cgi-content/anno-plus?aid=oet
A lot of information there too, but only in german.

Hello,
there only a few books on austrian cars of any age.
Years ago Austro-Fiat and Gräf & Stift got books on their history which started before WWI.
Here you can find some data and pictures.
The book " Kraftfahrzeuge und Panzer des österreichischen Bundesheeres 1896 bis Heute " is from 1976 give a good overview but is written in german. The years up to 1918 are covered in 88 pages up to 1938 200 pages. Maybe you can find it second hand on http://www.ZVAB.de
But when you have a specific question i will be pleased to try to find something in my books for you.

Windscreen from a German WW2 vehicle?
in German Vehicles
Posted
It is an universal part that fits a civilian car in military service as well. German forces were short on military vehicles and took everything they could lay their hands on.
