Summary

DescriptionFaun08-15-drawing.svg	English: German army GT 8/15 artillery tractor made by FAUN, constructed to carry the Bundeswehr version of the US M101 howitzer and a crew of up to eight artillerymen. A hydraulic lift was used to load/unload the gun on the truck. A plow on the front was intended to prepare a gun position, a 10t/60m winch was also available. 225 were made between 1959 and 1961, but the concept wasnt successful, as the process of getting the gun in and out of position proved to be to time-consuming.
