Civilian sledges were generally designated by the Wehrmacht as Panjeschlitten regardless of the size or construction. In Russia, rural sledges can be divided into two main construction types, the Drowni and the illustrated Rozwalni.

Compared to the Drowni, the rural sledge Rozwalni had additional braces from the raised front of the sledge to the lower rear. The platform of the sledge was conected with the braces with strings or with wickerwork. (Photo: German federal archive via Wikimedia Commons; License: Creative Commons BY-SA-3.0-gb)

The braces and the wickerwork prevented the driver or the load from falling out of the sledge. This Rozwalni was used for the transportation of a German 2.8 cm s. Pz.B. 41.
