The extreme terrain and climate conditions of the eastern front gave rise to a requirement for a new military truck to be developed, capable of coping both with the most demanding terrain of muddy Russian roads and remaining fully operational and reliable even in very deep frost. Thus in 1943, the Kopo ivnice Tatra automobile plant, at that time controlled by Ringhoffer, launched a project to the design of H. Ledwinka for a truck which was to become a true legend - designated T111. The German army contracted for 906 of these trucks during world war II. During last years of the war Tatra re-designed the cabin called it the Einheintsfahrerhaus. This type of cabin was designed by Germans for cheap production and was initiated for all trucks, used by Germanany. Engine: Diesel V-910, 12 cylindres, air-cooled, OHV, cylinder capacity 14.825 ccm. power 210HP Axles: three axles with diferential lock Weight: 8.365 kg kg Useful load: 8.500 kg Maximum velocity: 75 km/h

Rocket Wasserfall was first of the modern AA missile systems in history. The project started in 1943. The target for designers of Wasserfall was to make an antiaircraft missile, guided by ground radar. Later was guidance  system changed to a radio controlled  version. First launch was made 29-2-1944 with a prototype of version W1. Total number of launches was 35 and about 15 were not successful. Version W5 was the final design, but in beginning of 1945 work was started work on smaller version W10. This version was cheaper and used less strategic materials. About using of Wasserfall against allied aircraft nothing is known. First of Wasserfall batteries, Rheinland A, was captured by U.S. in Hartz. Some complete rockets survived war and were used for tests in USA and Soviet union.

KRUPP L3H Wehrmacht Lastkraftwage
In 1928 Krupp introduced its first off road truck (6x4) L3H. The vehicle had 6-cilinder carbureted engine producing 90HP, a 4-speed transmission, an auxiliary gearshift for on & off road driving with live rear axles with individual locking differentials. In the middle of the truck was a motor driven winch with a 3ton towing capability. In 1936, the engine was upgraded to 110HP. The clearest indentifying marks are two hatches on the engine hood in place of cooling louvers. In the Wehrmacht this vehicle was used with a wide variety of bodies, such as as cargo, radio, photography, spotlight, artillery towing trucks etc. These vehicles were deployed by Wehrmacht in France, Poland, Russia & Africa.

 Pantherturm I (stahluntersartz)
Pantherturm I (stahluntersartz) was designed as mass produced pillbox in the end of second world war. For this pillbox was used simplified turret from Panther tank based on two-part steel base. The base was installed to concrete bed. Bottom part of base box was used as bedroom, upper part as bed for turret and for ammunition storage. As seems on pictures, these pillboxes were used on Italian and German battlefields. Later, these pillboxes were simplified by wooden bases. Kit contains resin parts, photo etched parts and aluminum barrel.
