The obvious balloon tires and open cabs appear no more "antiquated" than many Soviet vehicles of the period :mad: and not even all U.S. vehicles had enclosed cabs at this time. How "primitive" can these trucks be? I'd be even more interested in the illustrated trailers and pontoons-- were these elements of a bridging company? Were the trailers to a standard pattern, like the German? Diego P.S. Osprey attributes the photo to Signal (presumably the German WWII propaganda mag.).

Dragos,I can't see the scan,But The truck in P24 of "Germany's Eastern Front Allies 1941- 45" is Austro-Daimler ADGR 2.5ton 6x4 truck.
This front part is specific to Austro-Daimler,
