The Sonderkraftfahrzeug 8 was a German half-track vehicle that was widely used in World War II. Its primary role was to serve as a prime mover for heavy towed guns such as the 21 cm Mörser 18, the 15 cm Kanone 18 and the 10.5 cm FlaK 38. Around 4,000 were produced between 1938 and 1945. It was used in every German campaign in World War II, notably the Invasion of Poland, the Battle of France, the Balkan Campaign, the Eastern Front, the North African Campaign, the Battle of Normandy and the Italian Campaign. There were also armored versions.
