Hi,

here another pic of the razputitsa. The trucks and cars had no chance on these roads to go on. So the halftracks were needed all the time (source of the pic: an expired ebay auction).

Hi,

here another pic of the rasputitsa. The trucks had no chance on these roads. So a captured full-track tractor could bring help (source of the pic: an expired ebay auction).
