Historical Background

The 7.62cm FK.36 (R) auf mZgkw 5t "Diana" SdKfz.6/3 was a product of necessity, put together in a hurry to supply the Deutsches Afrikakorps (DAK) with a more powerfully-armed vehicle in response to the British fielding improved Crusader and Grant medium tanks. As a result, German forces combined two readily accessible parts: the Sd.Kfz.6 halftrack, which was being gradually replaced in front-line service by larger halftracks that could manage heavier loads, and the Soviet F-22 field gun, which had been captured in large numbers on the Eastern Front. The "Diana" provided the DAK with much-needed mobile anti-tank firepower in North Africa, though production numbers remained limited due to the improvised nature of the conversion.
