Swiss WW2 bread trucks?
I was reading Rose Levy Berenbaum's Bread Bible last night, and the intro talks about the Swiss having "self-contained bread trucks" in WW2. Searching the web, I can't find any other reference to this - other than a link on Google Books back to the original text.
Has anyone ever seen a source or reference for this?

a reference to a US WW1 bread truck:

6000 loaves an hour.
on trucks since WW1. I ate bread made from them in Nam- very cool and good bread.... not as good as what was available on board a ship in the Navy though. Here are the new ones

That's really kind of awesome. I'm surprised something like that hasn't shown up more with the growing popularity of food trucks... though I suppose this mobile bakery is more oriented towards producing a crapload of bread than selling meals to trendy people.
I keep seeing one for sale here, for 18 grand, I recall. I'll try and round up the photo's. It seems to me that I also have photos in a book here, will get back to you.
