Historical Description

The Hanomag SS-100 Gigant was a heavy tractor designed in Germany and used from the 1930s until the end of World War II. Its durable, off-road construction allowed for wide use in the Wehrmacht and Luftwaffe. It was most often used for towing airplanes on airfields, hauling heavy anti-aircraft guns (e.g., 88 mm Flak), and transporting supplies, fuel, and ammunition to the fronts of Europe.

SS-100 Gigant units were seen during the Battle of Britain (1940), as well as in key operations on the Eastern Front. After the war, these vehicles were adopted by other armies and civilian services due to their reliability.
