... Ive wondered there is any book about german Towed Staff/Living Trailers? Or maybe anyone have got some photos, types or anything about that subject?
Ive already read "GERMAN MILITARY TRAILERS AND TOWED EQUIPMENT IN WORLD WAR II" but there is barely any info about Staff/Living Trailers so Im heading straight to You guys about that :roll:

Many thanks
Yuri

The twin axle trailer in the lower picture was for comms purposes and was used more or less exclusively by the Luftwaffe. Somewhere I have a list of the Sd. Ah numbers allocated. I don't recall any specific office/accommodation trailers, but there are loads of photos of box trailers derived from lorry rears and field made variants.

This is an Sd Ah 3 trailer reproduced by one of our guys:

I think it's the Czech(?) guys who have the restored trailer. If it's the one I'm thinking of, it's about 90% original.
