ICM KHD S3000/SS M Maultier, WWII German Semi-Tracked Truck

Description

A significant part of the German Wehrmacht vehicle fleet during World War II was made up of 3-tonne cargo trucks. One of the most popular was the KHD S3000, which was produced from 1940 onwards in the Klöckner-Humboldt-Deutz plant in Ulm. This truck was equipped with a 4 cylinder Deutz diesel engine and had rear-wheel drive only.

KHD S3000 trucks were widely used by all parts of the German army up until the end of war, such as at the Soviet-German front, North Africa, Italy, and in France. In off-road conditions, the rear-wheel drive vehicles showed minimal cross-country capability, so many KHD S3000 trucks were produced as Maultier half-track vehicles. In total, 1,740 KHD S3000 trucks were produced this way from 1942 to 1944.
