Besides the standard Opel Blitz omnibuses, there were many other variants made by different car body manufacturers. This omnibus of the Marine Kraftwagen Abteilung 803 was most probably based on an Opel Blitz chassis, too. At least the mascot on the engine bonnet in form of a stylised zeppelin – which was typical for Opel – points to this conclusion.
