German half-track Maultier DRG-6761

Description

The Sd Kfz. 3 Maultier (literally “mule” in German) was a semi-track vehicle used by the German army during World War II.

The arrival of autumn 1941, also meant the flooding and mudding of the Russian roads (which were rarely asphalted) which slowed down the German army as they tried to reach their military objectives of Operation Barbarossa, the solution adopted to try to improve this problem was to transform some of their trucks into tracked vehicles with better traction.
