Austin K30
Russian 1942 Reprint of Manual
Austin K30, 30-cwt (1.5-ton), 4x2, GS

A few batches of the 500 British Austin trucks, delivered to Russia from late 1941 to 1942, were Austin K30s.
The one shown here is a later model, with the same closed civilain-type cab and large single rear tires instead of the previous dual rears.
The latter gave the truck a fairly good performance even on worse roads, not so uncommon on the Eastern Front.

Inscription : "Victory will be ours" (correct)
