O Sd.Kfz. 11 (Sonderkraftfahrzeug – special motorized vehicle) was a German half-track that saw widespread use in World War II. Its main role was as a prime mover for medium towed guns ranging from the 3.7 cm FlaK 43 anti-aircraft gun up to the 10.5 cm leFH 18 field howitzer. It could carry eight troops in addition to towing a gun or trailer. The basic engineering for all the German half-tracks was developed during the Weimar-era by the Reichswehr’s Military Automotive Department, but final design and testing was farmed out to commercial firms with the understanding that production would be shared with multiple companies. Borgward was chosen to develop the second smallest of the German half-tracks and built a series of prototypes between 1934 and 1937. However development was taken over in 1938 by Hanomag who designed the main production version, H kl 6.

O Sd.Kfz. 11 was a German half-track vehicle that was used during World War II as a light artillery tractor and a personnel carrier. It could tow light guns such as the 3.7 cm Pak 36 anti-tank gun and the 10.5 cm leFH 18 howitzer. It could also transport up to eight soldiers or 1.5 tons of cargo. The Sd.Kfz. 11 was powered by a six-cylinder gasoline engine that gave it a top speed of 52 km/h and a range of 230 km. It had a front axle that was steerable and a rear axle that was driven by tracks. The Sd.Kfz. 11 had a crew of two and was armed with a single 7.92 mm MG 34 or MG 42 machine gun mounted on the rear of the vehicle. The Sd.Kfz. 11 was one of the most widely used half-tracks in the German army, with over 9,000 units produced from 1938 to 1945.
