      Believe me, it is. I know a guy in Nebraska with a working one in his private collection. I went to a ranch he owns there a few years ago. I asked if I could drive and he said Sure on the basis that he ride too so I don’t break it. Sadly, I don’t live in Nebraska, rather the Carolinas, so I only visited him once.

We were supposed to go behind the enemy lines at a private battle. The SS transported us behind the lines and I got to ride on the back of a Kettenkrad.

The Kettenrad zipped right up the hill, as the other two struggled for control & traction. (The last original WW2 I saw went for $135K USD).

    Still a darn shame the Girls' Last Tour anime adaptation never got towards the fifth and sixth manga volumes. What we got is great, but reaching the true ending would have made things all the more worthwhile... oh, well, let's just hope some animation studio wises up and creates an OVA follow-up for it. Besides, the likes of Mushi-Shi and Inuyasha have already succeeded in finishing up their full anime runs even after some years have passed since original release.

    Fun Fact:
    The kettenkrad was used as a basis for the Mittlerer Ladungsträger Springer or Sd.Kfz. 304. It was a remote controlled armored demolition vehicle with 330 kg (728 lbs) of explosives. It was not entirely remote as the driver needed to drive it up until dismounting it near a target. It shared similar problems with its smaller cousin, the Leichter Ladungsträger Goliath, that it was expensive to produce and suffered some reliability issues.

    I thought that they started out as civilian vehicles and ended as such. AFAIK, they were speciality vehicles similar to the snow mobile, but a bit broader application, especially for the alpine region. It should be pretty obvious that they excell at driving through unpaved, steep, narrow, paths in forests and mountains and were often besides mules the only way to supply remote cabins... They were used by forrestry workers, some peasants and hunters, people visiting remote stations (radio, weather...) and they were used to lay cables for power and communication.

    It's a neat vehicle to see in person. When you see it in person your like how is this thing gonna work but it works. I've talked to quite a few wwii american vets that's love to use them when captured. Tbh if you had land with rough patches, it's a perfect little vehicle.

    There were a number of odd purpose built vehicles from WW2 that deserve to be remembered , some on track or wheels wings or on the water or it under .
    For some there are only a few or a single example , sadly some only exist in books or photos or movies .

    Hi Johnny, very nice one on this cute vehicle. There is a German frase which goes, "besser schlecht gefahren als gut gelaufen". In English it is something like this, better a bad drive than a good walk. This sums up the whole thing about this vehicle very well.
    Thanks for your work mate, really appreciate the love and work you put into WWII.

    I know this doesn't have much to do with price of toast and Bovril, but a Kettenkrad { albeit heavily modified } was the basis for the chainsaw-tank vehichle that was used in one particularly memorable boss fight in the video game, Resident Evil : Village.
