    • Picture and sound

    Every now and then, the television broadcasting company Discovery Channel repeats a documentary called 'Machines that won the war'. Not unexpectedly, one of the five items pertains to the CCKW. The documentary contains very interesting interviews with former drivers. A selection from this documentary can been watched here.


    Museum

    The ultimate museum to see CCKW's as they would have looked like when leaving the factories, was undoubtedly the George Marshall Museum in Zwijndrecht, The Netherlands. This private collection was moved to a Museum for War and Resistance History in Overloon, The Netherlands. After a couple of years there was a conflict between the former owner of the collection and the museum. I do not know which share of the initial collection is still shown. So, check out before you go for it.
