History and Usage

The Munitions Schlepper auf Wespe was developed by the Germans as a specialized ammunition carrier based on the chassis of the Sd.Kfz. 124 Wespe self-propelled howitzer. This vehicle was used extensively on the fronts of World War II, mainly in the East and Italy, from 1943 to 1945.

Such specialist solutions significantly increased the efficiency of German artillery batteries.
