Quite a collection.

There is some sort of small tracked vehicle that can be seen from about 51 seconds through about 1:05.

Any idea what the heck that is ??

Boy do I hate SHIT HEAD AMATEUR VIDEOGRAPHERS! This douchebag spends more time pointing his shitty video camera at the ground than the cool tanks! What a fucking moron!

51 seconds to 1:05? All I see is BIG tanks. No small tracked vehicle. Are you sure you're not talking about earlier in the vid?

Yup....checked again. I saw the small one earlier. This thing looks like an insect on tracks and maybe a couple of small wheels.

I think you're looking at the KETTENKRAD. I don't see anything smaller than that. It's a German hybrid motorcycle/mini halftrack. I used to have one but sold it.

To steer it?

Really???


That little wheel is gonna turn that thing?


Isn't it like most tracked vehicles where you have a brake for each side to turn?

I driven one. It turns it just fine. When you have to turn more drastically, the action of turning the handlebars engages the track brakes to more closely emulate a tanks' method of turning. Leave it to the Krauts to come up with something so cool yet unpractical.

Definitely a strange bird.

Ok I must admit...I would tear some trails up with that thing.

The quality of the video is indeed disapointing but the museum is quite spectacular as far as I am concerned. They had some huge beasties back then!

[mrkalashnikov]

Some great cammo paint jobs on that hardware.

I wonder how many (if any) are operational?

There was one of those prominently displayed toward the end of Saving Private Ryan.
