Alexander ◊ 2008-05-18 18:03	The Sd.Kfz.8 was used for towing the 8,8 cm FLAK 18, but only in small numbers. This is the 8,8 cm FLAK 36 with the additional shield as mounted from 1940 on for ground fighting. The halftrack is correctly identified as the Krauss-Maffei KM m 11 Sd.Kfz.7, m.Zgkw. 8 to (1937-44) with the artillery body (by Jessen or Lindner). Also produced by Hansa-Lloyd-Goliath/Borgward (HL m 11), Saurer, Breda (Tipo 61), and a trial run of 20 by Henschel in 1942. Interesting to note is that Vauxhall made six prototypes named 'BT' which were exact copies of the Sd.Kfz.7.
