Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Springer (complete name: Mittlerer Ladungstr ger Springer, Sd.Kfz. 304) was a demolition vehicle of the German Wehrmacht in World War II. Based on the well-known NSU Kettenkrad, the NSU Werke AG at Neckarsulm, Germany, developed and built around 50 Springer demolition vehicles in the final year of World War II. To make the vehicle capable of carrying a bigger payload without the front fork, two pairs of road wheels were added to the running gear. The Springer had three outer and three inner running wheels. It was powered by the Opel Olympia engine, which was also used for the Kettenkrad.
