Re: Need to know if this will tow a gun?
The 20 mm KwK 30 or KwK38 L/55 guns on the 222 had a elevation range of -4 to +87 degrees which allowed them to be used for AA. Therefore, it would be unlikely that they would need additional AA support in the way of a towed AA gun. Likewise, since the mission profile for the 222 was generally recon, any towed equipment would interfere with that mission.
On the other hand, the engine was a Horch 3.5 or 3.8 Liter motor (not sure on the horse power) which is good sized so, in principle, it probably had the power to tow things if required.
That said, I would rate the towed gun concept as possible, but unlikely.
