In April 1943 it changed under the command of Heeresgruppe "Nordukraine" and was in action in Belgorod, Charkow and Kiew. After that the Division fought 1944 under the command of several Heeresgruppen and fought at Tscherkassy, Dnjestr Kischinew and Narew.

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 2003-2025 The Flying Mule, Inc.
