Germany A4 (V2) Transport Troop

​Vidalwagen

The Vidalwagen was used to transport the V2 from the railhead to the field stores and then again to the firing troop transfer point, where the missile would be hoisted onto the Meillerwagen. It was lightweight, but very strong. The 46-foot long A-frame tubular design could easily support the 4,485 lbs (2040 kg) weight of the empty V2. The Vidalwagen was designed by Otto Daus, at that time chief constructor in the Tempo-works at Vidal & Sohn Co.
