Lunch is off ...
German mess truck (note the smoke stack) blazes in Poland, 1939. The truck is an example of the Henschel-designed 6 by 6 Einheitsdiesel "light cross-country standardised truck", which, apart from Henschel, was also produced, from 1937 to 1940, by several other German motor vehicle manufacturers. It was probably the closest the Germans came to producing a truly standard military truck. These vehicles were used in a wide range of roles, including mess truck/field kitchen, as here.
