This unusual modification for a Panzer III chassis was meant too have a high ground clearance because it was a mine clearer.

Kleines Kettenkrad

During World War 2, the Germans developed an light tractor that can be deployed by their airborne forces. The result was the Kettenkrad. Half motorcycle, half tank. It had considerable off road performance and speed. It could haul supplies and an extra passenger. It was even used in airfields to pull and supply aircraft.

Battle Scooter Vespa

Just to prove a point that anything can be turned into a weapon of shock, awe and destruction. The French weaponized this Vespa scooter to serve with their paratroops. It was equipped with an anti-tank recoilless gun for dealing with pesky enemy tanks.

Minenraumer S

During World War 2, vehicles were designed to be built so strongly and solidly for the purpose of running over enemy mines. The minenraumer were built by the Germans so that they could crush anti-tank and anti personnel mines beneath their giant wheels as if they were nothing.
