Alright /k/, can you tell me about what sort of cars were used during WW1 and how. I don't know much about cars and I thought that they were all essentially just rich people's toys untill Ford's Model T. I thought that cars weren't a big deal in warfare until I heard that the German empire already had 50 cars in it's inventory at the start of the war and how Patton invented the idea of technicals during America's war with Pancho Villa. So what kind of cars were being manufactured during this time? How were they used? How sturdy were they? How expensive were they? Pic unrelated.
