The mittlerer Lastkraftwagen (o) mit geschlossenem Einheitsaufbau - medium lorry (commercial) with closed standard box body - (Kfz. 305/...), abbreviated m. Lkw. (o) mit geschl. Einh. Aufbau (Kfz. 305), was most probably introduced in 1940. The so-called LC-Koffer of the Luftwaffe was constructed from light-boards and was decomposable. It had a wall thicknes of 30 mm whereby the construction timbers for the mounting of equipment were uniformly arranged. Also the arrangement of hatches, windows and doors was standardised. There was a Schiebefenster - sliding window - in the forward wall behind the rear window of the driver’s cab. Two Klappen - flaps - 1,270 x 520 mm (at the front and the back) as well as a Fenster - window - and an Übersetzfenster - sliding window - were arranged in the left side of the box body. One Tür 1,545 x 700 mm mit Fenster - door with window - was centrical located in the backside. A further Tür 1,545 x 700 mm mit Fenster was located in the right side of the box body. Behind this, a further Übersetzfenster and eine Klappe 1,270 x 500 mm was arranged. There were two different roofs available. The Dach mit Dachgalerie mit Plane und Spriegeln - roof with railing with tarpaulin and hoops - (see photo) and the Laufgangdach - gallery roof - with a headroom of 1,890 mm. The raised fixture of the Laufgangdach had small windows in the sides.
Until now, the LC-Koffer of the Luftwaffe could be proven on the chassis of the Borgward B 3000 S & B 3000 A, the Ford V8 3t model 1939 & V 3000 S, the Klöckner-Deutz S 3000 & A 3000, the Mercedes-Benz L 3000 S & L 3000 A and the Opel Blitz 3,6-36 S & 3,6-6700 A by photo evidence. In addition, this superstructure in a modified version was used on the Gleisketten Lastkraftwagen 2t mit geschlossenem Aufbau - crawler tracked lorry 2 ton with closed superstructure - (Sd. Kfz. 3/4). (Image from D. (Luft) T. 8800/5)
