Who built this impressive truck? What was its type designation? Who made the superstructure? When was it? For these few questions there is a full number of one point.

Yes, it is from Germany. So neither American nor OM.

Is this a specialist maker or a full-line maker (like Mercedes?)

AZ57 prototype ready in 1959 which was to go into production at Werdau in 1960, but stopped by the RVHP executive
I know you're going to ask me more questions, but I won't say more. The Stasi is watching me :D

Dear Bill, you don't have to be afraid of the Stasi, all AP members will protect you. So you can tell us which combine built the AZ 57 and who built the substructure. By the way, the prototype lived longer than 1960.

Like I said, I don't have anything more on this truck.

But do you know the story of the rabbit that crossed the border between East Germany and West Germany?
He meets a western rabbit and says to him "phew, I had a narrow escape! Tomorrow, they open the bear hunt!"
The western rabbit says to him "but that does not concern you, you are a rabbit!"
So the first states "of course I'm a rabbit, but I don't have official papers to prove it!"

Good luck to the researchers in finding the details

 :yeah: Unlocked, at the request of a single gentleman. For a well-versed description of the vehicle you are looking for, there is a "sichel-bee".

@pguillem: The truck manufacturer is IFA, only the manufacturer of the tipper body is missing.
