► Photothread: German horse-drawn wagons

[Sturm78]

Hi all,

I propose a new section about german horse-drawn trailers/wagons of the World War II. Information and photos.
I will start with some images of various horse-drawn trailers unknown for me. Can anyone help me to identify them?

Images form Ebay.com

Thanks in advance. Regards Sturm78.

Thanks for your images, sir dude.

In your first photo: a Maschinengewehrwagen If.5 mit Zwillingsockel 36 (mit zwei MG 34)
In your second photo: I think that the photo shows a Hf.7 wagon.

Regards Sturm78.

Mechanized Juggernaut or Military Anachronism? Horses and the German Army of World War II (Contributions in Military Studies, Number 113)

Hi all,

No one can identify the wagons of my first three photos?

Well, then, three more pictures from Ebay:

First photo: Sd.Ah. 401 Luftwaffe field kitchen (it is a motorized trailer but.... )

Second photo: a horse field kitchen with limber (model unknown to me. perhaps Hf.11-12-13 or 14 or WWI model??? ) and another wagon, probably a Hf.1, although it is difficult to ensure.

Third photo: a horse drawn wagon unknown to me.

Can anyone help me to identify them?

Regards Sturm78.

I am not well known on horse-drawn-wagons, my spectrum is German cavalry, but for me looks this two-parted wagon like Infanterie-Nachrichtenwagen Nf. 7 or maybe like Af. 4

The best book on this topic is:
Klaus Christian Richter Die bespannten Truppen der Wehrmacht

Horrido!

Hi all,

About books, my problem is that I do not understand the German.

Regarding the last photo posted by Adrian: two Hf. 7 wagons

...and another 3 images from Ebay: I think the first two photos show Hf.2 or Hf.3 wagons (4 horses team) while the last picture shows perhaps a Hf.1 wagon with a 2 horses team (leichter Heeresfeldwagen). They are difficult to distinguish for me.

Some photos from ebay ..

Thank you for your images, Francy.

In the first image: another Maschinengewehrwagen If.5 mit Zwillingsockel 36 (mit zwei 7.92mm MG 34) with front wagon (Vorderwagen) and rear wagon (Hinterwagen).
In the second images: I think that this is a requisitioned civilian wagon with a field radio (Torn.Fu.b1, perhaps).
Third photo: I think that it is a civilian wagon also, although it is difficult to ensure.

Regards Sturm78.

Hi all,

Adrian, in your last photo the trailer is not seen very well, but it seems a kind Hf. ? with 4 horses team.

I found on Ebay more pictures of horse drawn trailers:
Has someone courage to try to identify them?

Hi all,

A few more photos of german horse-drawn wagons fron Ebay:
I think the second and third photos show probably the same model of wagon; one with a 6 horses team and the other with a 4 horses team.
Regarding the wagon of the first photo, I do not know the model.

Regards Sturm78.
