German half-track vehicle Sd.Kfz10 DEMAG D7 COBI 2273 - World War II

You know that:

• The development of the vehicle began as early as 1934 on the basis of a German army request for a small, manoeuvrable vehicle for towing trailers and transporting infantry.
• In 1934, Demag presented the first prototype, named Liliput, with a rear engine, which was indeed small according to the specifications, but unfortunately could not carry anything or anyone. 
• The following year, the concept was completely redesigned with a more powerful engine, resulting in a vehicle that was used in many versions until the end of the war.
• The armouring of the vehicle was minimal and so it was later used mainly for supply purposes.
• Combat versions such as the Sd.Kfz. 10/4, an anti-aircraft vehicle, and the Sd.Kfz. 10/2, an anti-tank vehicle, were also produced. However, the effectiveness of such versions due to their inherent low protection was questionable.
• In total, more than 14,000 units were produced in various versions.
• The D7 version represented the final factory version with redesigned front fenders and a new Maybach engine.
