Kubel question, the numerical plates on Kub's are those production numbers? Or numbers picked randomly? Has anyone ever traced them from pics posted on TS? Just coffee curious question.

do you mean the licence/registration plates on the front of the cars? I think they changed the number sequences circa 1939 so that the enemy couldn't work out production numbers or how many vehicles were deployed. before that the reg number indicated location and sequence number. _________________ "we're here on Earth to fart around" kurt vonnegut

There was a lot of aircraft scrap after the war, and it looks like someone got creative! _________________ We are striving for perfection, to make our cars run forever, if possible.
