Historical background and application

The SS-100 Gigant Schwerer Radschlepper was a German heavy wheeled tractor developed on the basis of the Hanomag truck and, in later versions, by the Fahrzeugfabrik Borgward company. It was used by Germany from 1937 to 1945 during World War II. It served as a basic logistic tool for both the Luftwaffe and Wehrmacht, transporting aircraft, towing heavy artillery, and even carrying V2 rockets. Without it, it is hard to imagine the operation of German army field or supply airfields on various fronts in Europe.
