The redesigned 3 ton lorry was made beginning in 1938. At first it was named L 3000 - internal designation LGF 3000. Beginning in 1939, it was named L 3000 S. This Mercedes-Benz type L 3000 was photographed in a Russian village.
The Mercedes-Benz L 3000 differs only by its more angular shaped front mudguards from the L 3000 S. These had round corners on the L 3000 S.
