# 808 Opel Blitz 3.6 – 47 Omnibus model W39 Ludewig built, late
Opel Blitz 3.6 – 47 Omnibus model W39 Ludewig – German staff bus of the WWII period, designed on the chassis of well-known Opel Blitz three ton truck. Series production lasted from 1939 until 1943, at the Ludewig plant in German city of Essen. From 1941 a number of changes were made to the construction of the bus, in particular, the spare wheel was moved to the left side of the body in a special niche. Almost three thousand units of this type were produced during this time, which were employed at every front of the war, as a conveyance for officers and an ambulance, as well as a staff transport, a telephone exchange, a radio station, and more.
Please remember, when contacting retailers or manufacturers, to mention that you saw their products highlighted here - on Armorama.
