What units used them? SdKfz 10: only nine were received in 1942, did they survive the Stalingrad campaign? SdKfz 11: again, nine vehicles received in 1942, how many survived Stalingrad? Any additional numbers received ? SdKfz 250: were these halftracks known as ''SPW ușor'' or ''SPW mic''? What was the total number of units received by the Romanian Army? SdKfz 251: how many vehicles were received? RSO: what was the official name? CKD Praga T6 tractor: official name? And another question related to SdKfz 9 FAMO: can this vehicle be considered an armoured halftrack?

There was also another one of a Kubelwagen with a large omni antenna (probably a command vehicle). My guess is that it was some kind of a show for the personnel to get acquainted with the new equipment sometimes in late 1943/early 1944. I will post both of them tonight (if I don't forget).
