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.
