Sd.Kfz.9 - The Strongest Draft Horse of the Third Reich #sdkfz #ww2 #german

The Sd.Kfz. 9 also known as "Famo" was a German half-track that saw widespread use in World War II, and the heaviest half-track vehicle of any type built in quantity in Nazi Germany during the war years. Its main roles were as a prime mover for very heavy towed guns such as the 24 cm Kanone 3 and as a tank recovery vehicle. Approximately 2,500 were produced between 1938 and 1945.

The real problem was recovering the massive tanks and possibly the extremely heavy heavy Elefant that it was needed often at least 4 of the Famo that it deformed the chassis and of course there was never enough of those prime movers often abandoning the tanks in the fields...
