martylee Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Again a brief report from Norway. About 130 vehicles found their way to Trandum this year. As always the sun was shining, which made the track rather dusty. A big thank yo to the organizers HMKF-Romerike. Many of the photos show the exact vehicles that I've posted before and are not that intresting. However among the newcomers this year were several German vehicles. One that was only half finished, but showed why they lost the war. This is all too complicated for field use.... :-) Marty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martylee Posted June 2, 2009 Author Share Posted June 2, 2009 Very interesting selection. A bit curious about the sheep, but thought best not to ask. Tim (too) I have two theories of this lamb. 1) Someone wanted a duck but could only afford a lamb. 2) There were barbeque at night... (you can relax the photo was taken the day of departure) German vehicles are very popular these days. And what really makes them intresting is that they were used here during the war, not imported after the war. Marty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 So which one was complicated and lost the war for the germans ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snapper Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Good question Mayhem, What is that truck? I'm reaching for my Bart's Bible. MB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martylee Posted June 4, 2009 Author Share Posted June 4, 2009 I was thinking about my friends Hanomag that lost the war for the germans. Compared to the more simple machines of the allied troops this seems very complicated, not to mention mass production ability. Very sophisticated engineering indeed and quite impressive, but complicated. The german trucks shown in the pictures are the Phanomen Granit 1500A and Opel Blitz. The first rather rare I believe.
