About the Panzerspähwagen
The German Sd.Kfz. 234 series was an 8-wheeled armored vehicle utilizing a monocoque hull, a vehicle originally intended for use in the desert. Production of the final version, the 234/4, commenced in December 1944. This 11.5-ton armored car was fitted with a 7.5cm Pak 40 L/46 anti-tank gun in an open-top turret, according to Hitler’s orders.
