Historical Information

SSys wagons were a key element of German logistics during World War II. Their construction allowed for transporting loads of up to 50 tons, making them perfect for moving heavy military equipment to the front-line areas between 1939 and 1945. The model presents the popular "1+1" configuration, meaning two platforms coupled together into one long wagon, which was often used to transport Tiger I and Panther tanks to the Eastern and Western Fronts.
