Demag Halbketten-Zugmaschine

Besides the tracked bike, this half-truck tow vehicle by Demag was the smallest of its series, with a trailing load of one ton.

Up to the end of the war 25.000 units of this tow vehicle were delivered to the army. It was used as a towing device for light artillery, and here above all for the 3,7 cm anti-tank gun, and later for the 5 cm anti-tank gun of the tank fighters. Frequently the platform of the vehicle was also mounted with a 3 cm ack-ack gun.

Year: 1939
Power: 100 HP
Engine cc: 4,170
Engine: 6 cylinder

Los museos, no solo nos trasladan al pasado, sino que nos hacen ver el presente como historias que pasarán, de las cuales queremos dejar un aporte significativo a las generaciones futuras. Gracias por tu aporte. Nos vemos en la cima

When I was young, I had building kits of these vehicles in miniature to glue it together and to paint it.
