UPDATE II: Here’s another 1950 Salgittzer brochure from Germany, but it is only four pages. Thanks to Jan for sharing it! This makes three different 1950 brochures.

July 12th UPDATE: I received both of the Salzgitter brochures I purchased out of Germany. The 1950 brochure is a version lacks several of the pages shown in the brochure at the very bottom. The 1949 brochure is a tiny (1/4 sheet-size) one-page brochure.

Here is the different in brochure sizes (left is a standard sheet of paper, middle is the 1950 brochure (1/2 size of standard sheet) and on the right is the 1949 brochure (1/4 size of standard sheet).

Here is my version of the 1950 8-page brochure (shorter than the 12-page brochure at the bottom of this post):

Thanks to Bill for pointing me to a Hemmings’ article about the Autoworker Salzgitter, a post-WWII German company that both refurbed WWII jeeps and expanded into brand new jeep-like products.

Here’s the article from Hemmings: https://www.hemmings.com/stories/salzgitter-jeep/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=EDaily&utm_campaign= … Daniel Strohl covers some great history on the formation of Salzgitter.

Some of the images shown in the article come from a 1950 brochure posted to Flickr by Johannes-Nepomuk Freiherr-Von-Mistwitz, who has posted a large selection of vintage vehicle ads, photos and brochures. So, a big thanks to him for sharing this information (some of which is shown below).

Thanks to IMCDB.com, we have several examples of the Salzgitter vehicles appearing in movies. This example below appeared as a background vehicle in the 1948 movie Fanfaren Der Liege.

Finally, here is the 12-page version of the 1950 Salzgitter brochure. Credit for these images goes to ohannes-Nepomuk Freiherr-von-Mistwitz. Each pic is linked to its Flickr image. The opening page’s bottom line translates as follows (thanks Joe-in-Mesa):

“A jeep for everyone – A jeep for all – A jeep for YOU!”
