The Sd.Kfz. 7 SS-924015 belonged to the SS Leibstandarte and wore the name Marta. The SS Leibstandarte was founded in 1933 as a bodyguard unit for Adolf Hitler. Over time the unit grew and in 1939 became a separate unit of the Waffen SS. The SS Leibstandarte took part in the invasion of Poland and Operation Barbarossa. By the end of WWII the unit had grown from a regiment to a Panzer Regiment and by 1945 a complete armored division. In 2017 SS-924015 was seen at the War and Peace Revival at Hop Farm, Kent, UK. Designed to meet a 1934 requirement for an eight ton armored half-track vehicle, The Sd.Kfz.7 first entered service in 1938. Its primary use was as a tractor for the 8.8 cm FlaK gun and 150 mm howitzer, but anti-aircraft variants were also produced. It could carry gun crews of up to 12 men and their gear, with room for ammunition storage as well. Used throughout the war, the Sd.Kfz. 7 appeared in the 1940 Paris victory parade, was featured in German propaganda films and became one of the most iconic half-track vehicles of its time. © Copyright 2003-2025 The Flying Mule, Inc.
