Vehicle history and usage

The heavy tractor SS-100 Gigant is a design by the German Faun company, created for the needs of the Wehrmacht and Luftwaffe. This durable vehicle served as an artillery tractor, technical support vehicle, and tug for aviation equipment, including legendary fighters and bombers. It was widely used between 1941 and 1945 on all theaters of war, particularly during World War II on the Eastern Front, Western Front, and in North Africa.

The SS-100 transported, among other loads, heavy anti-aircraft guns, V-2 rockets, airfield equipment, and fuel tankers. Thanks to its reliable construction, the vehicle was present not only at airfields, but also on rocket test ranges and in German army anti-aircraft artillery bases.
