I enclose two photo taken during testing of three Czechoslovak artillery tractors in Rumania in March 1940. There were Skoda MTH, Praga T-V and German Demag D-7.
Any information and/or photographs would be very welcome.

Demag D7 (Sd.Kfz. 10)

14,700 pieces built between 1939-1944, they comprised 34.41% of all the halftracked tractors of the Wehrmacht. Built by Demag, Adler (1940-44), Bussig NAG (1939-43), Phanomen, Austrian Sauer (1940-43).

Romanian Army imported Demag tractors between 1942-1944 from Germany.
