The Development of a Half Track Vehicle

Paul has a half track, but before we talk about his, let's explore its development and use. We need a vehicle that needs to carry an infantry section of 10 men and it needs to keep up with the tanks speeding across the countryside. Why was the half track the ideal design and not necessarily a fully tractor or fully wheeled vehicle? Wheeled vehicles that cross country capabilities poor. So obviously you've got to come up with a tracked vehicle to transport the troops where the tanks were going.
