This is the third video of presentations held during our 2021 Annual Fall Gathering. Hermann Spoerker presents the history of Steyr Daimler Puch trucks in the Austrian post-WW2 military, starting with the type 380 to the 12M18 as the last "true Steyr" vehicle before the company was acquired by MAN.

On May 12, the Austrian Military celebrates its 50-year cooperation with the non-profit organization LICHT INS DUNKEL with a big Tattoo at Baden's Kurpark. From 1pm until the beginning of the Tattoo at 6pm, there will be an exhibition of current and traditional heavy vehicles at the Josefsplatz right in the center of Baden. We are looking forward to welcoming our friends!
We continue our video series with the presentation of the Allis Chalmers M4 High Speed Tractor. Built in 1943, this vehicle - together with our Willys Jeep - is the oldest in our collection.

Ohne Fitness keine Landesverteidigung!
Soldatinnen und Soldaten müssen von Berufs wegen fit sein. Ohne körperliche Fitness könnten Pioniertaucher, Militärpolizisten, Piloten, Panzergrenadiere oder Hochgebirgsjäger ihren Beruf nicht ausüben. Aber auch in allen anderen Einsatzbereichen sind konditionelle Fähigkeiten für eine Karriere beim Bundesheer und für die militärische Landesverteidigung von entscheidender Bedeutung.
