Historical Information

Sd.Kfz.9 Schwere Zugkraftwagen 18t, also known as the “Famo”, was the largest and heaviest half-track vehicle produced in the Third Reich from 1939 to 1945. Its primary task was towing heavy guns, especially the Flak 18, 36 anti-aircraft guns and howitzers, as well as retrieving immobilized tanks, including Tigers and Panthers. The Late Version implemented improvements in design based on frontline experience. During World War II, the Sd.Kfz.9 served on all fronts – from the Eastern Front, through North Africa, to Western Europe.
