Normandy 1944
There are two unconfirmed theories about the origin of the name "Jeep." In 1950, Willys Overland of Toledo, Ohio, registered the brand name. Ten years earlier, Willys had built the robust, simple, and easy-to-repair all-rounder, a forefather of all off-road vehicles, in response to US Army requirements. The Army's requirement forms for the off-road vehicle sometimes referred to it as "GP," meaning "general purpose." GP, pronounced similar to the name "Jeep," later universally used in the US Army. This would be one explanation—but the other is more sympathetic: the comic strip "Popeye" features the character "Eugene the Jeep." He always helped the sailor Popeye when his strength failed him despite the spinach. Willys Overland built over 370,000 Jeeps for the U.S. Army during World War II – and its success story continued long afterward, even outside of military use. In 1987, Chrysler purchased the brand name, which continues to this day and still stands independently for the basic idea of ​​the off-road vehicle.
