Camionetta AS 42 Sahariana
(From e-shop)
1944, Latvia. Only RSI 10 °Reggimento Arditi have sahariana on Russian front
between autumn 1943 and winter 1944. On April 4th 1944, the unit has
no more sahariana because of failure, inability to
recover them and weather conditions....( source: "...come il diamante! I carristi italiani
1943-´45" de Sergio Corbatti et Marco Nava).
The
survivors of the unit were incorporated to 2.Fallschirmjäger-Division
and were sent on Normandy front. Maybe this exemplar
survived and was directly taken over by other german
units during transit in Latvia from Russia to Europe. Note “WH”on
spare wheel and original Italian plate has been covered.
