British Trucks in France at Dunkirk
Posted by richs26 on Sunday, April 27, 2014 10:15 PM

After seeing this photo of a German captured Bedford OY? series truck:

I thought of a neat idea for a Bulge diorama with 101st troopers checking out an abandoned German British truck.  I thought this would be possible since the Germans used Russian equipment throughout the war,  and they captured immense stockpiles of supplies in France that would sustain continued use.  My question is what were the types available at that time.  And are any available in 1/35th?

They literally captured 1000s of French and British vehicles.  I believe Schiffer has some books on captured softskins.
