Any info on this semitrack? Where and when were they used? I know they were used to pull 88mm Flak 36/37. Any other use?

Thanks.

It was used for most towing purposes (anti-tank, anti-aircraft and conventional artillery), and also served as the base of the Sd.Kfz. 7/1 and Sd.Kfz. 7/2, which were armed with a 2cm. Flakvierling and 3.7cm. Fla.K. 36/37/43 respectively.

Both an armoured and unarmoured version existed.
