"BIBER" TRAILER - WWII GERMAN KRIEGSMARINE - 1944

Description

One of the almost ‘miracle’ weapons that were to stop the victorious advance of the Allies, which they fortunately did not, was also the German Biber midget submarine (1/72 Special Navy new kit for this October). In 1944, when the mass production of the sub was commenced, also a new type of a road trailer was needed to haul the sub to the area of its combat deployment and a variety of heavy road tractors was used to tow the Biber on the trailer, as were the Hannomag SS-100, Faun or Kaeble. And when off road, half track vehicles such as the SdKfz.7 or SdKfz 8 were used too. (Scale : 1/72e)
