Axis Jeeps No Match for Ours

globe has prompted Hirohito and
Hitler to put similar vehicles in
action. But Axis engineers have
failed to produce a reasonable
facsimile" The Japanese version
of the Jeep dover left), shown
here after jungle battle on Pa
cific island, is fiimsy in construc-
tion, short on horsepower and, in
general, no match for our blitx
buggy. The German counterpart,

American Jeep built by WHY'S
Overland Motors, is military
version of the "VOlkswagen." Ex-
tensive tests conducted by the
Army Ordnance Department show
our Jeep to be superior to the Nazi
version. With four-cylinder
engine mounted in the rear and a
two-wheel drive, the Volkswagen
hits a top speed of only 80 miles

rail' that Jeep with its four
