Great pictures - really enjoyed them and would be interested in more if you have them.
The Unimog is a stunning vehicle and superb offroad. The high clearance also provides (coupled with sandbags on the floor) good mine protection. It had two very versatile power take-offs as well, and could be driven with BOTH power take-offs operating!
It was used widely in the conflicts in Southern Africa, expecially in Mozambique, Angola and Rhodesia. It was known as the "Two Five", and never called a Unimog! I don't know why.
