The Wehrmacht went into World War 2 with a myriad of horses, wagons, tanks and trucks. However, since there were never enough to replace the replacements, or even to increase the level of motorisation, the trucks were considered the army's weak point. And because suitable material was scarce, one resorted to all kinds of civilian vehicles, regardless of their suitability. This resulted in a hodgepodge of vehicles and makes, many of which were also adopted by the Wehrmacht. The army is said to have used more than 1000 types of vehicles - Werner Oswald portrays the most important of them in this book.
