This might not be the right place to ask but Animal has been a big help before
I'm trying to locate a list, or get an idea as to what an Armored Engineer Btn 6x6 might have for equipment or gear for cargo if it was Apr-May 1945, and they were fixin to cross the Danube.
Thanks,
Chris

I have some pics of GMC 6X6's with bridgeing loads in one of my GMC albums in Roo's Truck archives in the gallery.
I will also look up my other reference stuff here at home and post anything I thing would help you.

PS> if it involves truckseven if they belong to an armored unit this is the right forum.

I did a "google" on "armored engineer battalion" and got quite a few hits with some description but few pictures, but I did find this particular source which may be of help ...

thanks you guys...that link was quite interesting. I am going to have to rethink what is going into the back because I was so into building this thing that I failed to plan ahead and put the benches in. This means less large stuff and more individual soldier items.
My very vague plan was to try to enter something into the VE-Day campaign but as this is only the second kit I have built in close to 30 years, I may be bitting off a bit to much.
Anyways, thanks for your help! (now to go read up on "weathering" for the 4th time)
