Production of these vehicles began in April 1937 and continued until 1944. Perhaps this truck was the most issued in Germany. Over the years the production industry of the Third Reich was made 82 356 trucks of this brand. In 1936, Opel has introduced another innovation to his truck – drive on both axles. This car is the Opel Blitz gets the index of the 3.6-6700А (letter a — from the German word Allrad, meaning the all-wheel drive). Blitz all-wheel drive could climb a mountain with a slope of up to 70%. The drive to the front axle is accomplished through the gearbox, which was under the control of the driver in the cockpit. Another innovative solution was the implementation of the crawler drive — this version was called the Opel Blitz Maultier. -link removed-
