Do you suppose the front wheel actually steers that thing? Or do the tracks brake independently? It would look good dragging a JU-52 around the aerodrome.
 
Found the answers. Interesting vehicle...

Why does it have a front wheel?

The front wheel gives stability when driving straight on at high speed. And it steers the vehicle through wide bends. Only in sharp bends the steering brakes were engaged, too.
