In the words of Robert Burns
QuoteI 'm now arrived—thanks to the gods!
Through pathways rough and muddy,
A certain sign that makin' roads
Is no this people's study.
Altho' I 'm no' wi' Scripture crammed
I 'm sure the Bible says
That heedless sinners shall be damn'd
Unless they mend their ways.
Some of these are a bit fuzzy...
...these, too...
...plus...
...and...

Hello, mudder.

With all that mud on the glass it must have given a nice soft ambient light... ;D

Here is a nice 1937 Chevrolet Imperial somewhere in Russia 1941/1942.
Probably confiscated in Belgium or Holland where they were fairly popular.

Not really a car or truck but illustrative of the "Rasputitsa" as it was called, and it's effect on transportation of any kind.
Edit: Sorry, caption should be March 1942, not 1943
Bill
More Rasputitsa.
Not a really good photo, but I believe these are Russian prisoners being used to haul German transport vehicles through a really bad mud bog.
Bill
More Rasputitsa, November 1941 so this is Winter Mud as opposed to the more famous Spring Mud.
Not too many prisoners yet, so the human chain is German soldiers trying to get stuff going again. At least I think they are Germans.
I cannot imagine how much energy, not to mention the fuel involved, the Germans expended trying to get to Moskva.
Even though the Russians cannibalized most of the broken down or abandoned vehicles to the best of their ability, there must have been some interesting scrap yards left in Ukraine and Western Russia after the war ended.

Hi Burkhard:
I hope you enjoy my contributions. Sadly, they are all military and all from the Soviet Union for, as you know, WWII soft skins are my field of research. Still, I will try to find the most interesting of the several hundred Rasputitsa photos in my Doc files.
Bill
Ussssh!!
:o
Continuing in the "funny" mode.

Last for today.

The last one of this post is Louis Mattar's Cadillac. I think we may have it elsewhere on Autopuzzles.

Why they drove this Amilcar directly into the mud of a field?
