Historical Description

The Opel Blitz was the iconic Wehrmacht truck, used for transporting personnel and equipment from 1937 until the end of the conflict in 1945. It was the German army's primary means of transport, valued for its reliability and versatility. The PaK 40 (Panzerabwehrkanone 40) 75mm caliber was one of the most effective anti-tank guns used during the war, entering service in 1942. This gun proved so effective that it remained in active use until the war's end, destroying the latest Allied tanks such as the T-34 and Sherman. The set illustrates a typical front-line scene — the gun being transported by the Opel Blitz truck.
