AK-Interactive - Sd.Kfz.234/2 Puma

The famous Sd.Kfz.234/2, commonly referred to as the “Puma”, was the first series-production variant of the Sd.Kfz.234 family of eight-wheeled armoured cars. It was armed with a 50 mm gun and a 7,92 mm machine gun, both installed in a fully rotatable turret. The first batch of vehicles was delivered in December 1943, and by the time production ceased in September 1944, a total of 101 vehicles had been produced. They served with various units on both the Eastern and Western fronts until the end of the war.
