Leading the way

1963

Dated August 1971. To note that this is a GAZ-69-68 as demonstrated by the UAZ-469 front axle hubs and -less cogently- by the extra windows in the sides of the canvas back. http://static.esosedi.org//fiber/166248/fit/1400x1000/avgust_1971_v_ch_14038_galenki_galyishev_e_i_kulishkin_viktor_iz_orska_jp...

Being merry. There is some wheeled contraption over the bonnet but I cannot work out what it might be.

Flipped left to right. I am grateful to Guillaume for finding it

this same occasion featured on the front of Armeerundschau September 1970 from a different angle. I would say the splotches are the shadows of the camouflage net. https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/FOQAAOSwCaZgXyPI/s-l1600.jpg added the more commonly known photograph: https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/U5MA...

Probably 1950s. those tyres look a touch worn...

From details of the uniforms this can be dated to before '58 or so. Probably both vehicles are Gorky products.

Probably an early model (Gorky?) with unusual numberplate



Being washed



with convoy covers

Once again for some bizarre reason, photographic evidence of the 2P26 anti-tank missile system on a GAZ-69 chassis is mainly to be seen with the East Germans. Here a rare colour action shot:

In the DDR (apparently) 1970s at a guess. To note the rear view mirror attached to the windscreen hinge. https://scontent.flhr2-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/144353266_1807971736035089_8785771162320065481_o.jpg?_nc_cat=107&ccb=2&_nc_sid=a26aad&_nc_ohc=zGf02TxuOykAX9dRhKk&_nc_ht=scontent.flhr2-1.fna&oh=3e...

You know the game of how many students can fit in a Mini or a Beetle? Evidently the Soviets played the same game with soldiers and a GAZ-69A

The stripes etc. indicate that it belonged to the Soviet military vehicle inspectorate. To note the rear view mirror which seems to be attached to the windscreen hinge. https://scontent.flhr2-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/135359094_10159323650867975_6294065043120790212_n.jpg?_nc_cat=109&ccb=2&_nc_sid=b91...

Interesting photograph found on Ebay.de It is obviously a DDR radio one. What is remarkable is that it is the first time I have come across the covers of the rear lights for night convoy fitted in place. These are part of the Nachtmarschanlage 74 (NMA 74) that replaced the single Notek light at the ...

1950s probably:
