Here is a article on the holzgas. Germans made more than a fair amount of use of these systems. Also have seen pictures of they system in occupied countries (wood was about the only fuel they had).
I also think they made use of these systems in armored vehicles to perform driver training and movement of vehicles during the manufacturing process during the final acceptance trials of the chassis and suspension.
I seem to recall the Army had a technical intell article on it in one of their bulletins and a picture of one was in the illustrate WWII encyclopedia.
Definately one of the forgotten pieces of history.
