Running this must have been a hateful job  . I wonder what they did for a defroster? |
i don't know what they did for heat?maybe a gas heater like a vw bug?a 100 years ago when i was a kid in Montreal,there was a girl in my class,her dad was a salesman for Diamond Reo,i think back then they had Mack cabs?you're probably right about the Duetz engines in Panzer tanks.i did see a documentary one time about WW2 and they talked about some of the German tanks with Maybach engines and being so complicated and hard to work on out in field,it led to alot of them being left behind?interesting stuff.
