There's hardly any limit on creative solutions that designers and engineers come up with. On this page is what fits in no other group.
Special truck like versions with often sliding side doors are reported and rarely photographed. The only one photographed is reported to be a kitchen truck. other versions mentioned: Druckereikraftwagen (imprint truck) and Setzereikraftwagen (typesetting truck). As on fire trucks of this period began to appear, this bus has sliding doors left and right. They may be drafted civilian vehicles.

Bakery truck. The Africa corps palm tree is faintly seen on the door. It is a 1937-1939 model, by its 6 hole wheels. Also published is "Fahrzeuge der Reichswehr, Wehrmacht und Bundeswehr" by Werner OSWALD. |
A 87th scale resin kit from Arsenal M. |

Measurement truck? Seems a standard lenght chassis and by the high positioned sideboxes, not a low chassis. |
Special coachwork. (The window layout is special.) Not useful for normal transportation. Deutsche ArbeitsFront (German workers union) was a politically inspired organization.

By far the most exotic construction. A 1939-1944 chassis. The floor level seems higher than the standard floor (See the stairs at the back). It is a "Feld-Operationswagen" (field or mobile operating room).

| a harsh enviroment with just a smal tent. The stairs to the entrance seem to say that the floor is higher than a standard bus. | a 1939-1944 production chassis and a lines that seem to bee the basic Wehrmacht bus. The trailer is obviously a generator. Note the red cross roundels. | a 87th scale start of a conversion. | a 76th scale modell by Landmark. |
A 76th scale model presents an interesting idea, a mobile church. A closed structure seems not the most practical idea when your adressing much people but it's possible.
