Although this image and the one following were probably taken after 1941—based on the camouflage scheme on the trucks—they give a good idea of how much wheeled transport had to be assisted whenever the roads were turned into rivers of mud. A tracked vehicle, possibly a StuG III, leads a column of four trucks and a staff car, all of which are interconnected by tow cables. It was only through such methods that the wheeled vehicles, carrying the much-needed classes of supply, could be brought forward in some sectors. Needless to say, such methods diverted combat vehicles from the front and also put tremendous wear and tear on the tracked vehicles, which were not designed to pull such heavy loads.
