Sd.Kfz.11 (Sonderkraftfahrzeug 11) bylo německé kolopásové vojenské vozidlo používané během druhé světové války.

The Sd.Kfz.11 (Sonderkraftfahrzeug – special motorized vehicle) was a German half-track that saw very widespread use in World War II. Its main role was as a prime mover for medium towed guns ranging from the 3.7 cm FlaK 43 anti-aircraft gun up to the 10.5 cm leFH 18 field howitzer. It could carry eight troops in addition to towing a gun or trailer.

Variants

Sd.Kfz.11/1 -this was an ammunition carrier for the 10 cm Nebelwerfer 35 or 40 mortar. The ammunition compartment had racks to hold the shells and their propellant with side-opening doors.

Sd.Kfz.11/2 -this was a chemical decontamination vehicle fitted with a 70 kg (150 lb) capacity spreader and space for eight barrels of decontamination chemicals. This left room for only three crewmen. The barrels were stowed on platforms over the tracks with foldable outer rails.

Sd.Kfz.11/3 -this was equipped with a 500 litres (130 US gal) tank and spray system to lay down poison gas barriers. The spray nozzle swung back and forth to cover a width of 16 metres (52 ft). 125 were built in 1937.

Sd.Kfz.11/4-this was an ammunition vehicle for units using the 15 cm Nebelwerfer 41 multiple rocket launcher. Its ammunition racks could carry 10.5 centimetres (4.1 in) mortar shells, 15 centimetres (5.9 in) or 21 centimetres (8.3 in) rockets. It could carry thirty-six 15 cm or ten 21 cm rockets as well as the six man crew of the launcher.

Sd.Kfz.11/5-this was an ammunition vehicle for units using the Nebelwerfer multiple rocket launcher. Unlike earlier Nebelwerfer ammunition vehicles it was given a wooden upper body with two compartments. The forward cargo compartment was open-topped and lacked the racks of earlier models. The rear crew compartment had a bench seat facing the rear of the vehicle with rifle racks on each side of the seat.
