mittlerer gepanzerter Beobachtungskraftwagen (Sd. Kfz. 254) (Räderkettenfahrgestell R. K. 7)
A single series of 129 vehicles of the mittlerer gepanzerter Beobachtungskraftwagen (Sd. Kfz. 254) – a medium armoured observation vehicle – was made. Those vehicles were mainly used by motorised artillery units.
The rear view enables a good overview of the construction of the vehicle. The construction was too complicated and vulnerable. The vehicle was officially introduced with the A.H.M. 1940, Blatt 24 from 21st October 1940, No. 1084.
