Recognising the excellent tractive force and cross-country capability of half tracks, the German Army Ordnance Bureau decided in 1932 to develop six military half songs, from a 1-ton to a large 18-ton tractor. Various automobile manufacturers were ordered to produce one of these brilliant.
Krauss-Maffeir in Munich took fee of an 8-ton half tracks. Because this company had provided attention and study to half tracks since 1928, they finished a model, named KMm7 as early as 1933. It soon progressed into the KMm8 and KMm9, and in 1936 the KMm10 ended up being put into production. It was not until the KMm10 came to be that the 8-ton half track ended up being officially designated "Medium 8-ton Tractor (Sd.Kfz-7). The final production model, KMm11 was completed in 1938 and place into production straight away.
The manufacturing of the 8-ton half track totalled about 1,200 in quantity by the end of World War II. One of these models ended up being the 8-ton half track with 20mm four-barrelled AA device gun (Sd.kfz 7/1)
