This link shows German troops using GAZ AA and AAA:

makes sense, in '41 Army Group Center was the spearhead to Moscow..German manufacturing wasn't on a war footing at the time and companies like Opel and MAN couldn't build trucks fast enough. Center used every kind of truck they could find, from occupied countries and captures like the GAZ..couldnt imagine what the mechanics went through..

BTW love the pic with the guy sitting on the hood..big sign on the radiator saying "check the water"

Seems some of you also have an interest in WW2. Do any of you attend the Show of Shows in Louisville Kentucky?
