Firefighting variants were primarily used to protect large industrial complexes, airfields, and in rescue operations in bombed cities, for example, Hamburg or Berlin. These vehicles, outfitted with characteristic red markings and specialized tools, were considered reliable and easy to service, which is why they remained in use long after the war.
