On April 18 2013, the Vienna Army Command (one of the nine Army Commands of the nine Austrian provinces) celebrated its 50th anniversary in a military ceremony in front of the Vienna Town Hall. The Traditionsverband was invited to frame the ceremony with historic equipment, and we were happy to provide five vehicles representing Army motorization from the 1950s to the 1970s. A Steyr Type 580 brought by Günter Ctortnik/CAMO and two heavy Gräf & Stift 6x6s were complemented by their smaller “brethren” Willys Jeep and Puch Haflinger, much appreciated by the crowds.
