A - 2 - 3.) Facilitability of peat soils: Always unpassable for tanks are peat soil boi cinem near surface ground level and loose plant cover with oiner thickness of mchr than 50 cm. Rugel can be considered that übklall where pedestrians sink up to the ankle there is no navigability for tanks. However, the length of the distance to be crossed and, the mineral surface of peat soils at the border of the above-mentioned thickness is also agreeable. Forfstrcken under 20 m can often still be crossed in straight travel, similar peat stretches of 50 m and above however no more. The growth, tree stubben, dense Plster of moss or grass, Vichtritte etc. The bofahr barkcite varies very strongly, mineral soils are usually all passable, as far as the groundwater does not enter the Öbcrlächo. An exception mahon only heavy clay and clay soils, without or nit very low plant dock in case of strong wetness. 4.) Durability of forests: As a general result of tank trials in pine forest it is possible to determine: a) The limit of transitability lies in the Ebone at pine stands with an average trunk strength of about 35 cm (measured at chest height), i.e. at the age of 60-70 years and above. In the steep slope the performance is reduced (see below lb). (b) The density of the stock is of minor importance, since in the generally strong trunks there is such a large strain that they are successively covered by tanks. For pine stands over 35 cm of medium thickness are usually so light that the tank can easily find a way through the forest by avoiding the strongest trunks and densest areas. d) The experiments only cover species whose roots are very close to the surface. The deciduous forest with deep roots should be able to pass through even at lower tree thickness than the one valid for pine trees. fal1. 80975
