    That is an interesting picture. Usually, the Wehrmacht used a howitzer tractor, such as an Sdkfz 7, to tow broken-down tanks, up until the Tiger I came along. It was so heavy, it took three Sdkfz 7s to tow one Tiger I. So, 347 Sdkfz 171 Panther chassis were made into recovery vehicles (Bergepanther).
