History and use of the vehicle:

The Krupp Protze, also known as L 2 H 43 and L 2 H 143, was a six-wheeled German truck and artillery tractor produced from 1934 to 1941. This vehicle played a significant role in military operations, being widely used on the Eastern Front, during the North African campaign, and in France and Sicily.

The main task of the Krupp Protze was to tow artillery, particularly the 3.7 cm Pak 36 anti-tank guns, and to transport motorized infantry. The Kfz.70 version represented by the model was designed for infantry transport, making it an extremely versatile vehicle on the battlefield.

The Krupp Protze was distinguished by its advanced design, although its fuel consumption was relatively high compared to other vehicles, such as the Opel Blitz. Nevertheless, its ability to transport soldiers and tow artillery made it an indispensable element of the German armed forces.
