About Sd.Kfz. 7, Sd.Kfz. 9 and Sd.Kfz. 11:
The Sd.Kfz. 7, Sd.Kfz. 9 and Sd.Kfz. 11 were German half-track vehicles used during World War II. The Sd.Kfz. 7 was originally designed as a tractor for heavy guns and later became a multi-purpose vehicle for transporting artillery and other equipment. The Sd.Kfz. 9 was more powerful and was used for transporting heavy weapons. Sd.Kfz. 11 was smaller and used as a tractor for light and medium field guns and for troop transport. All three types of vehicles were equipped with high load capacity and powerful engines, which allowed them to easily overcome various terrain obstacles. They were commonly used on the fronts in Europe, Africa and Russia and remained in service throughout World War II. The Sd.Kfz. 7 and Sd.Kfz. 9 were also used as the basis for some self-propelled artillery weapons. After the war, some examples were used in the post-war conflicts and as the basis for the current military tractors.
