Tatras at Militracks

Militracks in Overloon, NL showed tracked and half tracked German WWII vehicles as well as WWII cars and motorcycles. Your editor Kees Smit showed his 1943 T 57K while a Norwegian collector showed his extremely rare 1939 T 92, a 6×4 light truck originally built for the Czechoslovak forces, but eventually used by the Germans to invade Scandinavia. We had a ride with this truck! Apart from these vehicles, the Overloon war museum showed their Schwere Wehrmachtschlepper built by Ringhoffer/ Kolin in the war years while some Tatra’s OT 810 converted back to SdKfz 251 also were present.

The Wehrmacht driving manual already mentioned that the T 57K wasn’t an off-road vehicle. Here the T 57K got stuck with its differential in the mud, the course having seen many tracked vehicles.
