I saw a reference somewhere (or at least I think I did), about a Horch 901 Kfz.16 "Heavy Field Car": - But no photo record I can find to back it up So this pretty much wraps up the story of Generalfeldmarschal Erwin Johannes Eugen Rommel and all his Afrikakorps Command Cars. Please have at...

Horch 901 Kfz.15 Another of Rommel's various Command vehicles: - apparently 4x4, but can't confirm if that's full-time or through a transfer case - not sure what the canisters on the fenders are about - link below has an album of features And as noted in the center photo, sometimes even a...

I'm going to go fishing in the Radio forum for a response about this, and see if anybody pipes up with an answer.

You know your stuff CARNAC, always impressive. Guessing that the Sarz Funkgerat is a radio set of some kind. Got any idea about the antenna drops/ droops? I like to know. Must be a radio signal thing; bugs me when I don't know what it's all about.

Searched some and don't believe this thread is a duplicate, but glad to be corrected: - Ran across some photos of a major piece of rolling hardware that apparently was a Command Vehicle used by Rommel with the Afrikakorps - Thought originally it was German, but discover it was captured and...
