Doing some research awile back I recall a photograph of a Germany resupply truck towing what looked like a converted Flakvierling 38 trailer. The trailer had a wooden deck and was hauling fuel drums I think. I did not give it much though at the time just though it was an interesting photo, anyway as you guessed it I have been tring to relocate the pix for several days with no luck so far. Am I dreaming or has anyone else heard or run across this setup?

Thanks, Ox

I've seen the same thing behind a PzIV, with two fuel drums on it.
That picture was in "Steel Masters", special number about Kursk.

I've seen this fuel trailer too, but I thought it was behind a early Pz 3!

hi the fuel trailer came in two types a single drum on and the other had two drums on side by side , they were made up in the field by army fitters , used in russia and in the desert battles , we also copied them and used the two drum system in the desert or were they captured ones , behind the churchills in the desert cheers ian
