"A friend in Germany confirmed it saying he saw old German Army manuals listing those vehicles as high priority targets. He also talk to some old timers there who said the same."
Thats the reason we went to the M42 command vehicle after WWII. The older command cars and Carryalls stood out like a sore thumb and were a dead giveaway that an officer was aboard. The M42 looked like every other truck(save for the windows in the back)and made it much harder forthe enemy to take out leaders in the field.
