With mobilisation of the German armed forces in 1939 the lack of motorised 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. Commercial & private limousines as well as hard tops and cabriolets cars were used. Vol. 1 contains photos of Opel passenger cars, including: . Opel Admiral . Opel Kadett . Opel Kapitan . Opel Olympia and others. This profusely illustrated photo album includes over 150 previously unseen pictures, many from private sources in Germany. 150 b/w photographs
