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 85hp 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.
