Hello!
Private ownership of tanks, other war weapons or former war planes in Germany is possible, but it requires a lot of paperwork.
According to the available information the man in Keil only had a permission from the local authorities but no allowance according to the German Weapons of War Control Act controlled by the Federal Office of Economics and Export Control. Even a tank is deactivated according to the law, it must be registered and approved too. This is a relict from the post WW2 demilitarization of Germany and is based on regulations made by the Allied Control Council.
Best Regards Guenter

Hello Wilhelm,
the manual say nothing about the blue light. The only interesting item is, there was a difference in the circuit between military and civilian vehicles. As far as I could trace, the blue lamp was always standard.
The purpose of the blue light was to reduce the lighting of the number plate. Blue lights were also used e.g. in air raid shelters and U-Boots because it was very suitable for the eyes.
Maybe sometimes clear lamps were used when blue lamps were short on supply.
Best Regards Guenter

Hello!
There are now 3 curious messages in "Selling".
It looks like there is something going wrong. Maybe the forum was hacked?
I guess it would be suitable the administrator deletes this three messages an keeps an eye on the settings of the software.

Hallo,
some time ago "Landuris Nutzfahrzeuge" in Munich had one ZFK40 in the storage (named "Fundgrube"). Price was 500,-- Euro. It was there for many years, but I do not know the recent state.

Hello Scott,
I recently offered some no longer needed toys for sale in ebay. Winner of the auction was someone in southern France even the auction was valid only for Germany. This sale was a nightmare, therefore I can understand everyone for only shipping inside Germany and rejecting Paypal. I'll do the same in future.
Depending on the destination, shipping outside Germany is sometimes a little bit difficult. Some time ago I sold some old riveting tools to a collector in the USA and this caused a lot of paperwork. A friend sold something to Norway and it was very difficult for him to get all the necessary papers for an export outside the EU.
But usually pictures should be no problem if there is a post office nearby. International shipping should only be done with registered letters. (Paypal requires registered shipping!) Unfortunately the Deutsche Post has closed many socalled Post-Agenturen (Post shops) in rural areas. So if the seller lives in such an area and the next Post shop is far away, international shipping is very time consuming or not really possible.
Best Regards Guenter

Hello Scott,
Usually Kofferaufbau and chassis had different manufacturers. The manufacturer of the chassis delivered it usually by train to the manufacturer of the Kofferaufbau or vice versa. The Koffer were made by various companies in Germany. As far as known Magirus was the only company doing both in case of fire fighting vehicles.
Best Regards Guenter

Hello Scott, I've searched my files and found an overview drawing about exchangeable parts of the Kfz 305: So door no. 4 on the right side was a special addition. Here is one more version with this door: Kfz. 305/33: As far as I could research, the handle on the roof was something like a branch or wire deflector. Best Regards Guenter P.S.: Unfortunately Reinhard Frank has no datafiles resp. manuals about the Wehrmacht Kofferaufbau.

Hello Scott, it was easy to remove the search light on the right side of the cab. This feature was available by design, because it could be used on a tripod too. The forward storage compartment on the right side was a standard item on the Kfz 305. The handles on the roof were present on may variants: Kfz. 305/108 Kfz. 305/29 A member of this forum owns a Koffer of a Kfz. 305. Best Regards Guenter

Hello Scott, the pictures are from the manual "L.Dv. 783/15. Ausrüstungsverzeichnis und Beladeplan für Kraftfahrspritze KS 8 Kfz. 305/108- Bauart 1941, Ausgabe März 1942" The lights on the cap are only known on fire fighting vehicles. The glass was blue. It seems these lights were abandoned starting mid 1943 on new vehicles. Older vehicles remained these lights. A picture of Room No. 4 taken from the mentioned manual: A picture of the "Kraftzugspritze KzS 8 Bauart 1939" taken from the manual L.Dv. 783/2a, issue November 1940: The previous version had an open cab. Maybe I'll meet Rainhard Frank tomorrow. Do you own resp. restoring an genuine Opel Blitz truck? Best Regards Guenter
