Yes, it is spelled ILTIS - polecat (or ferret) is an interesting name for a
Jeep...  They are available in Germany as military surplus and a limited
production civilian vachicle.  I found out only 46 of these were sold to
the public in Canada as army surplus... most of which were severly trashed
and canibalized.
