History:
The Sonderanhänger Ost 1.5t trailer was developed for logistical operations in support of the Wehrmacht during its campaigns on the Eastern Front and beyond. Designed to cope with harsh terrain, this trailer could be towed by a variety of German military trucks and half-tracks. It provided a vital transport function for ammunition, equipment, and engineering supplies in mobile operations. Often overlooked, trailers like the Sonderanhänger were crucial to the operational effectiveness of front-line units. Miniart’s detailed kit is ideal for complementing any WWII German vehicle display or enhancing the realism of supply-focused dioramas.
