The second picture is rather horrific as the truck has been raked with machine gun fire .The hapless driver ? has been partly run over ,the truck must have been left where it stopped for quite a while . The "dropside" body is the same as English AA trucks ,we did not have the stake bed here . It was set up for easy side board and tailgate removal to be used as a flat bed .

An interesting book this, about life in the lead mines of Siberia and a German escapee.
