In the reference that I cited (TM-E 30-451), as well as the earlier 1943 
edition which I also have the standard antenna listed for most of the German 
vehicular sets other than the low VHF sets used in the tanks is described as "roof 
antenna".  Some also list a vertical, with the note "when stopped".  FWIW.
