A finely detailed model of the German Anhänger für 2 × 200 Liter Kraftstoff‑Faß

The German Anhänger für 2 × 200 Liter Kraftstoff‑Faß was a two‑drum fuel trailer widely used by the Wehrmacht during World War II. This rugged single‑axle trailer was designed to transport two standard 200‑liter fuel drums, making it an essential component of frontline logistics for armored and motorized units.

Historical Background

The German army relied heavily on mobile fuel supply systems to support tanks, half‑tracks, trucks, and field equipment. This type of trailer was commonly attached to vehicles such as Kübelwagen, Opel Blitz, Sd.Kfz. half‑tracks, and even Panzer III/IV in field conditions. Its simple steel frame, reinforced mounts, and low loading height allowed crews to quickly move fuel to where it was needed most.
