Audi Truck-

[Mark J. Besso]

Pantelis,

I presume you're thinking of the Morris Traveler.  I'm fairly familiar 
with them as my mom used to drive one....long before I came along 
though.  They had no relation to the DKW that I know of.  They are from 
the same period of time and do share some styling cues though.

The Iltis was a military vehicle that got its start with the Munga so it 
would be the younger of the two.  Louis-Alain is probably more familiar 
with them than most of us as the Canadian military used them for many 
years after the Germans stopped.  Production (and, I believe naming) 
moved from Volkswagen to Bombardier.
