NotesDuring the early phase of Barbarossa, the Romanian army had managed to capture a lot of Soviet ordnance and among the vehicles captured were a number of Komsomoleyts artillery tractors. These were in bad shape and were sent back to Romania and refurbished. The finished tractors were called Ford Rusesc De Captura and were used to tow the German 50mm anti-tank gun.
