German Mittlerer Zugkraftwagen 8t, Sd.Kfz. 7, Militracks, Overloon

The Mittlerer Zugkraftwagen 8t (Sd.Kfz.7) was a medium halftrack/tractor/prime mover of the German Army. It was designed by Krauss-Maffei AG of Muenchen-Allach and was produced by Krauss-Maffei of Munich, Borgward of Bremen, Buessing-NAG of Berlin, Daimler-Benz of Berlin, and later by Saurer Werke AG of Vienna and Breda in Italy. Development started as early as 1933 and went on until 1939 for full-scale production until March 1945, with 12,187 produced, peaking in 1944 to 3,352 at a whooping unit cost of 36,000 RM. Sd.Kfz.7 was used on all fronts with all panzerdivisions, with still 3,602 in service by March 1945. Krauss-Maffei AG started working by 1928 on the experimental MS (m5) type tractor. The next M7 was based on the Waffenamt 1933 official specification and grew in size and power. This became the prototype of the future Sd.Kfz.7. The First 8t production model appeared in 1934 as the Krauss-Maffei m8. It was longer than m7 and powered by 6 cylinder Maybach HL 52 engine. Similar vehicles were produced by Buessing-NAG – BN m8 and Daimler-Benz – DB m8. KM m8 was followed by an improved version in 1936 – KM m9. New and improved model was powered by Maybach HL 57 engine.
