The SdKfz 2 (Sonderkraftfahrzeug 2) Kettenkrad, resembling a half-track motorcycle, was designed as a light artillery tractor to support airborne troops. While not intended to be delivered by parachute the Kettenkrad would fit into the hold of a Junkers Ju.52 transport aircraft.
First used in the invasion of the Soviet Union they were used to lay communication cables, pull heavy loads and carry soldiers through the deep Russian mud. Later in the war Kettenkrads were used as aircraft tugs, especially with the Messerschmitt Me 262 and Arado Ar 234 to save using jet fuel for taxiing to runways.
