This is not a fake but a real Kettenkrad. They were build from 1940 until 1949. After the war they were used for forestry. |

People i don't know german but i have read this name as well: Kettenkraftrad. Is it the same? |

Kettenkraftrad (trackpowerwheel/trackmotorbike) seems to be usually shortened to Ketterkrad (cf. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SdKfz_2 ) |

As Mike says the terms are identical. First part 'Kette' (plural 'Ketten') means chain or in this case continuous track. Last part 'Rad' is the wheel and also used for bicycle. And the middle part 'Kraft' or short just 'K' means power. In the German language vehicles driven by an engine got the word 'Kraft' added. You still find it today in the abbreviations 'Pkw'='Personenkraftwagen' (people-power-wagon = car) and 'Lkw'='Lastkraftwagen' (load power wagon = truck/lorry). Up to the middle of the last century motorbikes were called 'Kraftrad' or colloquial 'Krad'. Today the word 'Motorrad' is common. |

Please change name: "Sd.Kfz.2" should be put as extra info, since it's only the internal army designation and therefore not part of the model name. |
