I've been reading a book of reminiscences of WWII air crews, many of whom were shot down over Europe, and now and then, there's a reference to a "wood-powered truck". I remember reading about a few tinkerers jerry-rigging something along those lines during the gas crisis of the 1970s, but these trucks sound like something that was actually designed and built to run on wood. There's not enough information to tell if they had steam engines or they "cooked" the wood in a still of sorts and burned the resulting gasses in a spark-ignition engine. I'm just curious if anybody knows anything about the wood-powered trucks of occupied Europe.
