Erhardt Armored Car

The Ehrhardt armored car was a German First World War wheeled armored-vehicle design used in reconnaissance and mobile fire-support settings. Its large armored body carried machine guns and reflected the limitations of early motorized armored warfare.

Ehrhardt competed with other German manufacturers as the army investigated armored cars during the war. Multiple machine-gun positions allowed fire from the large hull, while wheeled running gear favored roads over deeply cratered ground. Eastern Front conditions offered some opportunities unavailable in the static trenches farther west. Subsequent production changes and vehicles employed after the armistice contributed to a complicated record of wartime and internal-security use. The type remained much less numerous than the infantry and artillery supporting it.
