Colonel Busse made a gesture, and the adjutant immediately said to Captain John, "Come with me, I'll borrow a motorcycle for you from the motorized reconnaissance group using personal connections."
As the two left, the tank crew, whose tracks had been damaged, had just removed the locked tracks from the tank.
Having tracks blown off was an awkward situation; you might say it was trivial, but it could indeed force a tank out of the operation it was currently engaged in.
To say it was useful, most broken tracks could be repaired later, and if the crew carried spare tracks, they could even repair them themselves––the cost was spending more than ten hours.
But that was still better than abandoning the tank after the tracks were broken.
So, more and more old tank crews of Prosen started putting spare tank tracks on the outer armor of the tanks as additional protection, so if the tracks were broken, they could quickly get out and replace the tracks to fix the problem.
