The Sd.Kfz. 234 (Sonderkraftfahrzeug 234, or Special Purpose Vehicle 234), was a family of armoured cars designed and built in Germany during World War II. The vehicles were lightly armoured, armed with a 20, 50 or 75 mm main gun, and powered by a Tatra V12 diesel engine. The Sd.Kfz. 234 broadly resembles the appearance of Sd.Kfz. 231 (8 rad). Designed as a heavily-armored reconnaissance vehicle with the mission of observing enemy forces, the Schwerer Panzerspähwagen first entered service in the mid 1930s. Originally based on a 6x4 truck design, these large but fast armored vehicles evolved to include eight-wheel designs. Though not meant to engage enemy forces, Panzerspähwagens could withstand small arms fire and could return fire with a 2 cm KwK 30 L/55 autocannon. The better-armed Sd Kfz. 234 Puma had a heavier gun that was capable of destroying armored cars and light tanks. These vehicles were operated throughout the war, though the extreme conditions in the USSR and North Africa limited their usefulness. © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
