Opel vehicles from mobilization era illustrate how civilian cars supported military needs and adaptation.With mobilization of the German armed forces in 1939 the lack of motorized transport was identified as a critical issue, to partly remedy this the military commandeered much of both Germany’s and its satellite dependencies' passenger car stock, thus the military motor pool was supplemented by thousands of confiscated civilian passenger cars, which were partially adapted to military use.
