Photo Pack
The kleines Kettenkraftrad Sd.Kfz. 2, widely known as the "Kettenkrad," was a light utility half-track motorcycle designed for the German Wehrmacht. Developed in the late 1930s as an air-transportable tractor for airborne troops, its outstanding off-road capability led to widespread deployment across all major theaters of World War II. Propelled by a 36 hp water-cooled Opel Olympia engine, it steered via a front fork and automatic track brakes. Production spanned from 1940 to 1945, yielding over 8,300 units that saw active combat from the 1941 invasion of Crete until the war's end, frequently towing an Infanteriekarren If.8 utility cart configured to transport a gasoline-powered Goliath Sd.Kfz. 303 remote-controlled demolition vehicle.
This reference photo pack captures a fully restored wartime assembly showcasing the Kettenkrad, the If.8 trailer, and the Goliath tracked mine. High-resolution close-ups detail the Kettenkrad's front motorcycle fork, complex interleaved road wheel system, and central driver's saddle with adjacent engine cooling vents. The collection documents the tow hitch assembly and structural steel tubing of the If.8 infantry cart, alongside the compact Goliath resting on the trailer bed to highlight its tracked chassis, armored housing, and rear cable drum. This set serves as a practical resource for 3D modelers, concept artists, and military history illustrators studying complex mechanical linkages, interleaved suspensions, and late-war German transport configurations.
