8 Tons German WW2 half-track #ww2 #military #vehicles #wwii #vehicle #army #war #wehrmacht #machine

It breaks my heart to know that vehicles back then were made to last. And now, they are designed with an expiration date

Wonder if they were sitting that relaxed 80 years ago

That's when you see 4-5 people on the same bench you see the real size of the half-track. Amazing engineering

[dylanplumley]

Just imagine what sort of crazy fucking cars they would have built if they were still around.

Love the German halftracks. The 8 ton was really more of an artillery tractor, being unarmored. Only downsides compared to American M2 was the front wheels were un powered and interleaved wheels would get packed with mud . My brother had a 1941 M2 White halftrack that we drove around and it could go over small trees going uphill. Lots of fun! And gas😂

Imagine you riding this to work /school

The German design engineers produced remarkable, logical, really useful and dependable equipment.

Drake roleplaying an average dude in the suburbs is crazy 💀😭

Туристам для катаниея на этом Halbkettenfahrzeuge надо в обязательном порядке выдавать форму, каски и оружие. Сильная машина!

Von Daimler-Benz und Krupp hergestellt, Motor von Maybach und die Elektrik von Bosch. Richtig gewartet und gepflegt fährt diese Schönheit noch in 100 Jahren.

German engineering is so damn fantastic. All those vehicles. Amazinh

[swojal]

I never knew how big these things were. I thought they were the size of a normal half track like an m3 or sdfk…. I thought wrong

Специфическое "шахматное" расположение катков для гусениц не позволяло продолжать движение по сильной вязкой грязи и при обрыве гусеницы, а так же затрудняло ремонт в полевых условиях.
Когда мы делали игрушечные модели немецкой техники - у игрушек были те же недостатки, как и описывали очевидцы событий у оригинальных машин ввиду очевидно не совсем удачных инженерных решний.
Вторым существенным недостатком для такой военной машины и созданных на её базе танков - был бензиновый двигатель, а не дизельный. Бензиновый двигатель хотя и давал вцелом претмущества в скорости, тем не менее делал технику незащищенной от возгорания при повреждении, что и становилось часто фатальным в боевых условиях.

My right arm couldn’t help itself. It raised and saluted my favorite Austrian painter

GERMAN PARTY BUS ISN'T REAL, IT CANT HURT YOU

GERMAN PARTY BUS :

[johnpoole]

That is a lot of truck. Eight tons, unreal.

[RiggyRonnie]

Sometimes I feel as though war is necessary for humanity as a whole as it forces us to think outside of the box and come up with new things like this ancient monstrosity

[NickAndriadze]

For me, a half-track is almost immediately associated with the German military, I really can't drive any other parallel for some reason. They're awesome pieces of engineering, both maneuverable like a truck *and* with almost the same off-road cappabilities as a tank. Plus they look insanely cool, as if a mad scientist chopped off a front of an armoured car and a back of a military Tow.

[JohnMann-vtrd]

I would love a ride in that german world war two half track the love and care that has gone Into preserving it is incredible, thank you for sharing ❤
