German horse-drawn wagons

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.

Hi Adrian,

to Your first question: sorry, there is no similarity with the Af. 4 and Af. 12. Have a look and decide by yourself.
First drawings and two pics of the Af.4 (source: "Die bespannten Truppen der Wehrmacht" by Klaus Christian Richter).

Regards

Bert

Hi Adrian,

to Your other question: the ID on the light radio trailer as Nf.3. I´m relying on the ID by Wolfgang Fleischer in his book "Bespannte Fahrzeuge des deutschen Heeres bis 1945". He is working in the museum of military history in Dresden. He is an expert on horse drawn wagons.

In a few minutes I´ll post three pics of this wagon.

Regards

Bert

I know why now i thought they were similar. On Holgers site the Af. 4 is a picture of a Af. 12 is it not ?

Hello Adrian,

Yes, the photo shows an Af. 12. My error. The side has been corrected.

Regards,

Holger.

Might have found the identity of the unknown wagons posted by sturm few photos back. Discovered a photo of the same limbers, this time with italian soldiers. Think it to be the 10 cm M. 14 Feldhaubitze limber/cassion in german and italian service the gun was reffered to as 10 cm leFH 14(ö) and 10 cm leFH 315(i). Im far from a horse drawn vehicles expert. Anyone else able to back this up ?
