The Sonderkraftfahrzeug 8 ("special motorized vehicle 8") was a German half-track that saw widespread use in World War II. Its main roles were as a prime mover for heavy towed guns. Approximately 4,000 were produced between 1938 and 1945. It was used in every campaign fought by the Germans in World War II. In 1998, a previously unknown armored (gepanzerte) version was recovered from the Pilica River in Poland. It is believed that only 20-30 of these were ever made. This variant of the Sd.Kfz 8 was all but forgotten until it was recovered and then restored to operational condition. Having a full-hull around the chassis and drive train, it is likely that this was a lost prototype of an armored artillery tractor.
