Schwerer Wehrmachtschlepper (sWS)

The Schwerer Wehrmachtschlepper (or sWS) was a German Cargo half track used for towing large artillery pieces with room for the crew in the back. The sWS was originally designed to replace the earlier Sd Kfz 7 and Sd Kdz 11. Production started in 1943 at Brussing-NAG. Early models as depicted here had a truck like cab similar to the Sd Kfz 7 design. However later models had an armoured front very like the Sd Kfz 251 half track.
