The SdKfz 6 (Sonderkraftfahrzeug 6) is a half-track military vehicle used by the German Wehrmacht during the Second World War. Designed to be used as the main towing vehicle for the 105mm leFH artillery gun. However it was proved far to expensive and was Phased out in 1941 for more economic Halftrack's. Existing SdkFZ 6's were maintained in the German army afterwards.
