About the D.A.K. vehicles in the set:

The German Afrika Korps was established in early 1941 and took part in the North African Campaign under the command of Erwin Rommel. Its motorized units relied on a wide range of vehicles adapted to harsh desert conditions.

The Mercedes-Benz L3000S was a widely used 3-ton 4×2 cargo truck. The s.E.Pkw Kfz.70, based on the Horch Typ 40 chassis, served as a troop carrier and could be equipped with a Zwillingssockel 36 mount carrying twin 7.92 mm MG 34 machine guns for air defense and support. The le.gl.Einheits-Pkw Kfz.2 was a light all-terrain three-seat radio car equipped with the Torn.Fu.b1 set, manufactured by Stoewer, BMW, and Hanomag.

Historical technical overview:

• Mercedes-Benz L3000S: 3-ton capacity, 4×2 drivetrain
• Kfz.70: multi-purpose personnel carrier, MG 34 twin mount capable
• Kfz.2: radio communication vehicle with Torn.Fu.b1 system
