The SdKfz 7 is a half-tracked military vehicle used by the Wehrmacht and the Waffen-SS during World War II. The development of the SdKfz 7 dates back to a 1934 need for an eight-ton half-track military vehicle.
The vehicle first appeared in 1938 and was intended primarily to be used as a tractor for the 8.8 cm FlaK gun and the 15 cm 150 mm sFH 18 howitzer. The vehicle could carry artillery crews of up to 12 people in theater-type seats.
At the rear of the vehicle was an enclosed ammunition storage compartment. The tractor could tow loads weighing up to 8000 kg. Most of them were equipped with a winch.
