History

The Kfz.2/40 Type 170VK was a specialised German field repair vehicle based on the Mercedes-Benz 170VK light utility chassis. During the Second World War, these compact workshop vehicles accompanied front-line units, carrying mechanics, spare parts and essential tools needed to carry out rapid repairs to vehicles and equipment. Their mobility allowed maintenance crews to operate close to combat areas, helping return damaged vehicles to service as quickly as possible. Although less glamorous than tanks or armoured cars, vehicles like the Kfz.2/40 played a vital logistical role in maintaining the effectiveness of German military formations throughout the war.
