German Ehrhardt Anti-Aircraft Artillery Tractor M1916


The German Ehrhardt tractor for towing 8.8-cm Heavy Anti-Aircraft Artillery guns. 
Model 1916.

This first model was later complemented with a new more compact and powerful model. Both the M1916 and M1917 were originally dedicated to refitting the 8.8-cm guns of the Rheinmetall house, although there is graphic evidence that they also towed 8.8-cm Krupp guns.

Modelo 1916.

Este primer modelo posteriormente fue complementado con un nuevo modelo más compacto y potente. Tanto el M1916 como el M1917 se dedicaron en principio a remocar los cañones de 8,8-cm de la casa Rheinmetall, aunque hay testimonios gráficos de que también remolcaron cañones de 8,8-cm Krupp.
