Historical Background
Originally developed for airborne troops, the Sd.Kfz. 2 Kettenkrad combined a motorcycle-style front end with handlebars and a single wheel, and a rear six-wheel tracked assembly. Powered by an OHV inline-four Opel water-cooled engine like that used in the Opel Olympia, it could carry two passengers in addition to the driver and tow up to 450 kg. Its sure-footed performance on sand and mud made it valuable in theatres such as North Africa and the Russian Steppe. From 1944, it also saw use on airfields handling aircraft including the Messerschmitt Me 262 and Arado Ar 234.

At the beginning, Sd.Kfz 2 “Kettenkrad”, was developed as light means of transport for airborne troops. It was a small vehicle with the front similar to a motorcycle, characterized by its handlebars and its central wheel and by a rear designed to feature a 6 wheels tracked structure. The Kettenkrad could transport 2 passengers, additionally to the driver, or transport goods and ammunitions. It could reach a top speed of 70 km/h thanks to its OHV inline-four Opel water-cooling engine , the same featured on Opel Olympia car. Through its tow hook it was able to drag up to 450 kg of goods as antitank cannons of moderate size. The Kettenkrad resulted to be perfect in carrying loads and people on uneven grounds, as those sandy in North Africa or muddy ones is Russian Steppe. Later, since 1944 onwards, it was used on runways for handling of jet fighters Messerschmitt Me 262 and jet bombers Arado A-234.
