The following book exists:



You can see MAZ/KZKT-537 on it's cover.
Thus, these vehicles were used by NVA DDR.

Hi, the nva used the maz-537 (the early version with the small front bumper) the tractor-trailer version for transporting tanks. But only a few and they were soon withdrawn from service and used during the construction of the "Drushba" pipeline in the soviet union. The KZKT version wasn't used.
