The Opel Blitz was available in both the Type S 2-wheel drive and the Type A "Allrad," featuring a robust 4x4 chassis that ensured adaptability across various terrains. This versatile platform served as the basis for several conversions, including the radio truck with its metal and wood superstructure for housing radio equipment, the Kfz. 385 Tankwagon specialized fuel tanker, and locally produced anti-aircraft platforms mounting everything from standard 20mm and 37mm AA guns to the formidable Quad 20mm Flakvierling 38 AA gun.
One of its most renowned adaptations was the Opel Maultier "Mule" half-track, introduced in 1941 after severe Rasputitsa conditions on the Eastern Front halted operations. This conversion utilized the track system from the obsolete Panzer I, providing the German army with a highly capable all-purpose vehicle that remained in service throughout the war.
