An interesting vehicle! As I wrote, just back from Brandenburg where Opel built Europe's most modern and efficient factory in the 1930s for the production of the Blitz. The factory was badly damaged by wartime bombing, the Russians dismantled and confiscated the remains. Production was resumed in the West at Opel's plant in Rüsselsheim. The area once occupied by the huge Opel plant in Brandenburg ist still partly a wasteland. The role of General Motors in wartime Germany was an interesting one - its Opel subsidiary was busy mass-producing trucks for the foe! Zvezda model trucks for the wargamer used to be available at my local model shop, Monk Bar Models, here in York. The kits were cheap and quite basic, although well-moulded, with no cab glazing or many details. 
I have a couple of Opels, a Ural Russian truck and an AEC Matador, no less, still unbuilt.
