Halbkettenfahrzeuge des deutschen Heeres (Spielberger)
Half-track vehicles became necessary because the normal wheeled vehicles with which the German grenadier units were motorized were unable to cope with difficult terrain. Therefore, a whole range of half-track tractors was developed and built before the war.
In this volume, the team of authors documents every development step of these all-terrain vehicles and presents them and their inner workings with many informative photos. This book complements the successful Spielberger volumes.
This volume documents the development of the Wehrmacht's half-track tractors. The most important half-track vehicles are represented, from the light one- and three-tonners to the medium-sized five- to eight-tonners and the heavy twelve- and eighteen-tonners.
Lots of technical data. Detailed sectional drawings. Over 100 historical photos, including many rare archive images.
