German artillery on the advance in the Ukraine: Sd.Kfz.7 KM m8 half-track pulling a field gun, summer 1941. The use of half-tracked prime movers for artillery was common in the German forces but not elsewhere. Compared to wheeled vehicles, half-tracks are more difficult to maintain, they often suffer track breakages, and are slower on roads. However, they have better off-road mobility compared to wheeled vehicles. Photographer: Artur Grimm.Source :
