Very good you put it all together for the WWII involvement.
Thanks for that.

Thanks!
There is so much info that it was difficult to limit what to include. That is why I included source links to see more.

Imaginary conversation......

Grandpa, what did you do during the war?

Well, I went off-roading in Baja!

You can bet that is when the first Willys-Overland (MBs) or Ford (GPWs) 'jeeps' and Dodge Power Wagons drove in Baja!

If you read the page, you will learn that all military insignia (white stars) had to be removed and soldiers couldn't be in uniform, when driving in neutral Mexico.
