These 3-ton cargo trucks became the back bone of the German military transports. The
military designation for these 3-ton trucks was Kfz. 305. Originally designed as a 4X2
rear-wheel drive but in 1940 a 4-wheel design was made available and it became very
much appreciated by its crew for the cross country abilities. This variant of the 3-ton was
used primarily for cargo transportation but could easily be adapted to handle troops.
These 3-ton trucks continued to be manufactured even when WWII was declared ended
and the S type became the most used truck for German commercial transport. From
1937 to 1944 approximately 82,000 of the Type “S” were built and another 14,000 with a
long wheel-base and 8,300 with a low-level base.
