Hi!
Unfortunately nothing about such boxes in my collection.
One interesting item: Usually boxes were made of wood. Only boxes for spare parts directly attached to equipment were sometimes made of metal.
This Box is made of alu and is riveted. Maybe is was part of an air-transportable equipment.
Best Regards Guenter

Hello,
yes, the A2 was a WL trailer, but the typical towing vehicle was not a 3t truck.
First of all you must consider the purpose of these trailers and second the average distance these trailer were moved in daily business. Most of all, for this few meters the trailers were pushed by soldiers and if available by tractors. The only documented exception is a truck loaded with fuel drum towing a Notschnelltanker from plane to plane for refuelling them. This truck was called "Behelfstankwagen" (auxiliary fuel truck).
Only in case of a relocation of a unit these trailers were towed by trucks. Usually to the next railway station and the truck returned to get the next trailer. After arrival of the train at the new location, the same procedure again to the new military base.
All in all the Luftwaffe was always short with trucks, especially prevailed stationary units like maintenance, engineering, communication and airfield operation units.
Best Regard Guenter

Hello!
The word "deleted" is a wrong translation, because the word "streichen" has two meanings in Germany.
The correct translation would be:
"Delivery specifications for all Kübelwagen... In camouflage the wheels should be painted in one color ( brown or green )"
Best Regards Guenter

Hello!
Could you please measure the size of the towing ring, especially the inner diameter. Another question is the size of the tires.
I've an idea, but I'm not sure.
Best Regards Guenter

Hello! Enclosed some pages from the manual. Behind the front doors was the storage for the filter unit and some tools. Behind the rear doos was the pump unit. The top storage was for the fuel tubes. It was covered with a canvas. The trailer is in rather good condition and a good base for restoration. Best Regards Guenter
