A Couple of Photographs
from the 1950's
Have you ever thought about where in the world went all those vehicles which swarmed on the WWII battlefields of Europe and which so suddenly lost their jobs with the war's end?

Here are a few photographs which illustrate their often interesting fate.
The working people supply the army with perfect vehicles. It is a task for our soldiers to keep up the equipment assigned to them and learn to handle it. Above is an inspection of tanks before military exercises, below (not available), a motorcyclists practise in cross-country riding.

...but this small Bedford (left) was used to date completely different tanks - and uniforms..
A Czechoslovak design of a sand-spreader

...the sand-spreader? Yes, but we can tell the vehicle isn't. A F60L.

Again a F60L, this time in the hands of experienced drivers..
An organizer's loudspeaker vehicle

...oh yes, such organizer's vehicles threatened the hearts of many "on-lookers" of the Second World War.
Do you have any personal experience or recollections you would like to share with me and the readers?

I would very much like to hear from you if you do.

The famous Universal Carrier could handle the most difficult conditions, the Czechoslovak soldiers could try it out in person.
