Sd Kfz 4/1 Munitionskraftwagen

The Opel Maultier was initially convered as an armoured ammunition carrier for towed 15cm Nebelwerfer batteries but was soon converted to carry the 15cm rocket launching tubes as a way of allowing batteries to move location rapidly, avoiding the tell-tale smoke trails revealing their firing positions. A 7.92mm MG34 or MG42 was also fitted for defense against personnel. Between April 1943 and March 1944 300 vehicles were produced.
