Notes | The R-75 was an improvement on the R-12, it had a permanently fitted sidecar which was powered by the main engine and this was used to mount light weapons as well as carry personnel. They were issued to Panzer, Panzer Grenadier and Fallschirmjäger formations as well as standard units and these were used in a number of roles. They were well liked and reliable and were widely used on all fronts. |
