Rare Borgward IV VK3.02 Munitionsschlepper footage.

Re-uploaded on 26-8.

The VK3.02 and 01 also known as the gepanzerter Munitionsschlepper was a German fully-tracked ammunition carrier developed from 1937 until the 1940s. The VK3.02 is a slightly larger version of the VK3.01, and with re-organized ammunition storage.
The VK3.02 had satisfactory movement and armour, however the crew room and the organization of the ammunition was in need of improvement. The engine did have issues with over-revving, so the maximum speed was to be lowered.

Borgward was awarded the contract to produce 400 examples of the VK3.02. Deliveries were scheduled to start in October 1941, with the rate of 12 per month. Actual production was less than this, with 4 in October 1941, 14 in November, 4 in December, 4 in January, and 2 in February.

On the 16th of December 1941, In 6 decided to cancel production due to changing field conditions. Instead, the VK3.02 was to be developed into the Sprengladungsträger Borgward IV we all know.

On the 9th of September 1942, 19 additional units were ordered by In 2 for trial purposes in Magdeburg.
This was actually filmed and played of as actual battle footage as you can see here.
