The Motorenanwärmer, fahrbar (Einbrennergerät; B-Reihe mit Zweiachsfahrgestell) – a movable engine pre-heater (one burner device; B-series with two axle chassis) – of the Luftwaffe was used to heat up aircraft engines. Behind the opened rear hatch the burner nozzle is visible. The spare wheel and the battery was stored behind the broad hatch below.
