The GAZ-55 (ru|ГАЗ-55) was a Soviet military ambulance developed in the 1930s by Gorkovsky Avtomobilny Zavod (GAZ) and was used by the USSR during the Second World War. It was based on the GAZ-AA model.[1] With only 9,130 models ever produced, the Red Army still relied heavily on standard trucks to transport their wounded. Production of this ambulance reportedly continued until 1946.[2]
One GAZ-55 was captured by a unit of the Luftwaffe.[3]
The GAZ-55 is featured in the 1941 Russian film 'Frontovye podrugi' (The Girl from Leningrad).[4]
The GAZ-55 is featured in the video game ''.[5]
