British workshop crews took jeeps that were meant for the scrapyard—damaged beyond repair, engines blown, chassis bent—and turned them into something the Germans feared. They welded on salvaged armour plates, mounted .50 calibre Browning machine guns, stripped away everything unnecessary, and created improvised battle wagons that German forces consistently mistook for proper armoured vehicles.
These weren't supposed to work. They were overloaded, poorly protected, built from written-off hulks in field workshops. But on the muddy roads of Northwest Europe in 1944, they fought like armoured cars, looked threatening enough to make enemy infantry call for anti-tank weapons, and caused German reconnaissance units to report contact with "light armoured vehicles" when they were facing nothing more than modified jeeps.
