Post; East German jeep


Someone help me! I'm pretty sure the East German 5-ton vehicle of choice during the 80's was a W-5, but I can't clearly remember what we called the jeeps the border troops drove. For some reason both P-3 and Robar come to mind, but I'm not sure which, if either, are correct.

Thanks.

Well, I guess I've found the question that stumped Milforum, Google, Jeeves, Magellen, Yahoo, and A.v.

I know Robur was a soviet bloc vehicle, but they usually made fire trucks and buses. A lot of bodies were put on Robur frames.

Here is a Trabant which was the common East German car/army vehicle.

Well the P3 was one of the Jeeps the border troops used.




Another one was the UAZ 469:



Before that the GAZ 69 was used:




The Trabant 601A (called Kübel or Stoffhund) wasn't a jeep at all:






The W50 was, as you said, a 5 ton vehicle:




The Robur was a 3,5 ton vehicle.
