Get Mechanized!
Developed as a part of early German moves toward mechanization of their reconaissance units from the late 1920s onwards, the Sd.Kfz.231 was a heavy armored car that used the chassis of a 6-wheeled civilian truck as a base. Given sloped armor and armed with a 20mm main gun and 7.92 machine gun, it garnered a top speed of 62-70km/h from a 60-70hp gasoline engine. Driver seats were installed front and rear for quick mobility. Together with its frame aerial-equipped Sd.Kfz.232 cousin, around 130 were manufactured, and took part in fighting in Poland and France during the initial phases of WWII. Some of the Sd.Kfz.231s sent to France were seen with additional smoke dischargers fitted to the front of the body.
