Interesting eBay pics

Discussions on the vehicles used by the Axis forces.
Long-time forum member Ron Klages (1939 - 2007) generously shared his knowledge and the results of his impressive research with the forum, and this section has therefore been renamed in his honour.

The disadvantage in the early trail was that it took longer to get the gun into action as the tractor was in the way between it and the enemy.

Why would anyone be towing a loaded gun around?

Hi Alan, Adrian and Kriegsmarine,

it´s really a Russian vehicle, type StZ 3, light artillery tractor, used for towing the light 45 mm AT gun. The German designation: leichter gepanzerter Artillerieschlepper 630 (r). I´ll post two pics of this tractor (source: Das Waffen-Arsenal, Band 6: Sowjetische Panzer by Uwe Feist).

Regards

Bert
