Forgotten Samurai | Type 5 Ho-To and Type 5 Ho-Ru

Although many military vehicles used during the Second World War are well documented, this is, unfortunately, not always the case. Historians and hobbyists have come across information or even pictures about vehicles that no one has known to exist before during their research. This especially applies to the last year of the war, when the Germans and the Japanese were desperately trying to fit different weapons on any available chassis. If not for existing photographs, many such modifications would have vanished in the sands of time. This is the case with two Japanese modifications based on the well-known Type 95 Ha-Go, today known as the Type 5 Ho-To and Ho-Ru.
