The Opel Blitz was a German light truck built from 1930 to 1973. From 1973 to 1987 a successor vehicle from Bedford Vehicles of Luton was sold under the name "Bedford Blitz".
From 1939 onwards its 3-ton version was used frequently throughout World War II. A half-tracked version, using tracks and supension based on that used on the Universal Carrier, was also produced, as the Opel Maultier (mule). In Europe this car was considered as GM's contribution to German successes.
