I can scan and e-mail you what I have if you want, Hector.

I have read on internet that this "German" truck was introduced to US in 1940 and the reason that i want to know all this is because i got this truck but says is a German one made by Ford and i think is a US made truck used by US troops because of the windshield, as you said djmodels1999, here´s a pic, i guess i am right, any data about it is welcome

My sources state that The type V300S was made to an American pattern but with undivided windshield. The Ford Germany nomenclature was Type G 198 TS.

The Ford Motor Company AG was founded in Berlin in 1926, purely as an assembly plant. The factory moved to Koln in 1931 and by 1935 it had become an independant German auto manufacturer; The name changed to: Ford-Werke AG in '39.

The same source: Trucks of the Wehrmacht by Reinhald Frank, published by Schiffer, also has a pic of a captured V300S used by the Americans. The picture was taken in Reims, France in '44. It wears 5-pointed stars in at least 6 positions and 'USA' in little, on two locations, on top of the grille. It still has its Notek light.

Thanks a lot Shermanfreak, i am gonna post this same question in the AUTOS seccion, i thought that every military vehicle topic must be placed here, any way, thank you a lot man!

my best regards

Got me with this question Hector. Something that I really can't even attempt to answer.
Trucks just aren't really my area but maybe one or two of the other modellers can jump in here with that part of the answer.

Hey Shermafreak!

But then this truck may have been used by the US troops as well as the German ones? or only by the Germans?? as far as i know the models that Ford did in the US were the same as in Europe am i right??...

Hey Hector ... if memory serves me correctly (and that's a long shot in itself),
Ford had a few manufacturing plants in Germany before the war started. These trucks probably came from those plants. I think Schiffer had a publication about these German Ford trucks.
