Sd.Kfz.232 Pz.Aufkl.ABT.4 4.Pz. Div Eastern Front 1943 Model Vehicle 60586

Germany created a number of successful schwerer Panzerspähwagen ("heavy armored reconnaissance vehicles") to support its forces. Among them was the family based on the Sd.Kfz.231 8-Rad ("eight-wheel") design. The Sd.Kfz.232 accommodated extra radio equipment and a large frame antenna for longer-dis-tance communication. The armored car's Büssing-NAG 8x8 chassis offered good cross-country mobility and the vehicle also possessed eight-wheel steering. There were dual driver's controls, which meant the vehicle could drive rapidly in either direction if it came under attack. The 8.3-tonne design was ordered in 1934, and both the Sd.Kfz.231 and 232 featured a hexagonal-shaped turret mounting a 2cm KwK 30 cannon plus one MG34 machine gun. Production of the Sd.Kfz. 232 ceased in 1943 in favor of the newer Sd.Kfz.234/2 Puma.
