Rare WW2 Unic P107 - Pionier Panzerwagen auf SPW S307(f) footage.
In the 1920s and 1930s Citroën developed a long line of half-tracks based on the Kégresse patent. In 1937, the company introduced its newest and more powerful P107 model as a successor to the Citroën-Kégresse P17. But before mass production could take place, Citroën went bankrupt and its new owner, Michelin, chose to focus on the civilian markets. Unic was therefore able to acquire a license for the Kégresse patent, and took over the production of the P107.
The first order was made in 1935. Two main variants of the P107 were accepted in French military service.
After the fall of France the Germans used these captured half-tracks extensively under the name leichter Zugkraftwagen 37 U304(f) to tow various anti-tank guns. Major Alfred Becker of the 21. Panzerdivision suggested converting captured French vehicles. He ordered the conversion of available Unic half-tracks into leichter Schützenpanzerwagen.
The SOMUA MCG was a half-track artillery tractor and recovery vehicle of the French forces during World War II.
Manufactured by the Somua company it was used to tow medium artillery pieces such as the 155 mm mle 1917 howitzer and the 105 mm mle 1936 field gun, as well as their specific ammunition trailers. Of this main version 345 were produced: 264 until 1 September 1939 and another 81 until the end of May 1940.
The SOMUA MCG Pionier Panzerwagen, was a conversion for engineer units. The machine carried a standby collapsible bridge on the sides of the hull.
