Notes | The Sd.Kfz 9 was the largest and heaviest of all the German half-tracks fielded in World War Two. It could be used to tow almost every gun available. It was also used as a tank recovery vehicle which could along with other Sd.Kfz 9s pull medium and heavy tanks such as the Tiger I. It served right through the war on all fronts. |
