Captured beute in German use Tractor HTZ-T2G

View attachment 801220


:thumbright:

It is the STZ-NATI-1TA (STZ) also marked as SKhTZ-NATI-1TA (KhTZ) that was manufactured as agricultural crawler tractor. The vehicles delivered to the Red Army were designated STZ-3 ( STZ-NATI 2TW ). The KhTZ-T2G (HTZ-T2G) crawler tractor was the wood-gas propelled variant of the SKhTZ-NATI-1TA. There is no the G-19 wood-gas generator so IMHO that's the captured STZ-3 or the standard civilian variant STZ-NATI (SKhTZ-NATI).

Here the STZ-NATI (SKhTZ-NATI, STZ-3)

and here the HTZ-T2G (KhTZ-T2G). The differences can be noticed.

What work could not be done by KhTZ-T2G, but SKhTZ-NATI could and why? ;)

Exclusively agricultural characteristics. :) The gas generator was a big fire hazard, so harvesting grain was forbidden.

Yes, that's correct. However in 1939, designers developed an electric igniter instead of ignition from matches, installed an additional casing on the hot belt of the generator and a spark arrester. After these innovations, the tractor became useful for harvesting crops.
 
German Mini submarine Molch

Molch (Salamander)
These 11 ton one-man boats were all electric and designed for coastal operations. Looking like a large torpedo they had the small range of 40 miles at 5 knots and carried 2 underslung torpedoes. These boats were designed to travel submerged only.
The first of 393 such boats was delivered on June 12, 1944. All the boats were built by AG Weser in Bremen.
