The Sonderkraftfahrzeug 8 ("Special Motorized Vehicle 8") was a heavy German half-track designed by Daimler-Benz that saw widespread use in World War II. Its main role was as a prime mover for heavy towed guns but also served as a vehicle recovery vehicle, infantry transport and, armed with a 8.8 cm Flak 18 gun, it served anti-tank duties.  Used in every major campaign fought by the Germans in World War II, over 4,000 were produced.  This book, from the very well-regarded ‘Nuts & Bolts” series, addresses this workhorse vehicle and features numerous black and white photographs of surviving examples, along with crisply-executed line drawings, black and white photographs of the vehicle in service during the war, and well-done color profiles.  This is all accompanied by authoritative text in both German and English.  A very-nicely done publication and still in high-demand among advanced WWII German AFV modelers.
