Historical Description of the BZ-38 Refueller Model

The Soviet BZ-38 is a fuel tanker based on the ZIS-5 truck chassis, which entered service just before the outbreak of World War II. The vehicle was used intensively by the Red Army throughout the war and into the postwar years, mainly from 1938–1945, spanning from the late interwar period through World War II. These tankers were essential for supplying fuel to vehicles, armored units, and field airstrips. Seen on the Eastern Front, they played a key role in frontline logistics, often operating under difficult field conditions.
