DESCRIPTION

About the Kommandeurwagen

With the quick advances of their mechanized Blitzkrieg tactics,
vehicles were needed to move the German army commanders and
generals from place to place as their army pushes forward. One
such vehicle was a 4-door version of the Austrian Steyr 1500A/01
light truck, which was powered by an 85 hp 8-cylinder engine and
had good cross-country performance. As this was a commander's
vehicle, modifications included a more spacious 5-person cabin as
opposed to the truck's 8-person capacity. The cabin was also
fitted with leather seats and a front passenger seat that could
recline to form a bed. High-level German commanders on all fronts
used them as their personal vehicles.
