World War II Snow Blowing Machines

 

Snow blowing machines used by the Germans in Norway during World War II. From the estate of Franz Guthausen, two pictures of snow blowing machines in action in Norway. The first one (top) was snow blower on a DER ( Diesel-Elektrisch-Raupenantrieb ) built on Renault R40 drive train by Süddeutsche Maschinenbaugesellschaft Erich Schad & Co.  The other is one (bottom) on a "BER" ( Benzin-Elektrisch-Raupenantrieb ).
