Ranger, Alan Sd.Kfz. 10 Leichter Zugkraftwagen 1 t

This photo album in the MMP/Stratus "Camera On" series, contains 140+ photos of the Sd.Kfz. 10 Leichter Zugkraftwagen 1.t. The Sd.Kfz. 10 was developed as a towing vehicle for light loads like the 37mm Pak 36/37, the 2cm Flak 30/38, and the Heavy Infantry howitzer Sigg 33 plus a myriad of trailers types such as the Sd. Anh. 32. Later, it was used as a towing vehicle for the 5cm Pak 38 and different Nebelwerfer (rocket launchers). As the war progressed and the German army had less and less equipment to utilize, the Sd.Kfz 10 was often to be seen towing loads way beyond its designed weight class for the lack of other suitable vehicles. These profusely illustrated photo albums include many previously unseen pictures, many from private sources in Germany. Whatever the rules might have said, German soldiers took many photos, and these are the basis for our new series.

As the war progressed and the German Wehrmacht increasingly lacked adequate vehicles, this tractor was also used to transport and pull loads that far exceeded the original operational weight. This extensively illustrated work shows a large number of previously unpublished photos of the Sd.Kfz. 10, most of which come from private photo collections of German soldiers.
