The rivers that criss-cross Eastern Europe appear to have given up more than their fair share of Wehrmacht equipment in recent years. Above and below are images of an SdKfz 8 (Type DB10) that was dredged from the river several years ago.

We believe that only 20-30 such variations were ever built, this is the only one surviving in the world today. It was originally used to tow the 88mm Flak gun as well as transport the supporting crew members and ammunition.
It is planned that this vehicle will be restored and exhibited as part of the Museum of the Pilica River in Tomaszow Mazowiecki city. In the photo below you can clearly see the size of this semi-track against the mans legs - this was a behemoth of a vehicle compared with the much smaller 251 Hanomag.
