Photo Gallery on a Sd.Kfz.4/1 Maultier, Le SdKfz 4 Gleissketten-Lastkraftwagen or Maultier était le nom d’un type de half-tracks développés au cours de la Seconde Guerre mondiale par l’Allemagne qui, entre 1933 et 1945, a été le leader dans la construction de ces véhicules. Le SdKfz 4 fut développé après l’invasion de la Russie en 1941 parce qu’il s’était avéré que les véhicules commerciaux classiques (essentiellement le Opel-Blitz 3t Type 3,6-36S, le Ford V8 3t Type G 398 TS/V 3000 S, le Magirus Type S 3000 et le Mercedes-Benz 4,5t Type L 4500 R) qui habituellement assuraient le ravitaillement des troupes allemandes s’enlisaient dans la glace et la boue présentes en Russie. Un total de 22 500 half-tracks SdKfz 4 was produced until 1944. Subsequently, the Opel trucks were supplemented with 150 mm Panzerwerfer rocket launchers called SdKfz 4/1, of which about 300 were produced. However, these models did not exceed a speed of 40 km/h due to their extra weight. Each halftrack was equipped with a FuG Spr G radio.
