Here are a few nice full glorous color photos of former German vehicles under new ownership by allied forces in France 1944. just thought they are great to see for though and reference... and maybe some discussion...

OD Kubelwagen in Paris during the Liberation

OD Schwimmwagen on a forward airfield

BMW or Zundapp w/sidecar

Hey stik, thanks for the pics!  Man, those color pics really bring the subject to life don't they?  But I have to ask.....on the Kubelwagen, the "accessory" in the back....was that on the original German factory product or is that something "added" on later?  Sorry, had to do it.  Devil  Hope no one is offended!  Embarrassed

Who's the brunette in the striped dress on the back of the Kubelwagon?  She's lovely.
