Sd.Kfz. 222 Armored Car

The Sd.Kfz. 222 was a German four-wheel light armored reconnaissance car used before and during the Second World War. Its open-topped turret carried a 20 mm cannon and machine gun, giving scouting units more firepower than a machine-gun-only armored car. Good road mobility suited reconnaissance and security work, but restricted cross-country performance and the open turret created limitations. It belonged to the light armored-car family rather than to Germany’s larger eight-wheel reconnaissance vehicles. Mesh screens could be fitted over the open turret to offer limited protection against thrown objects. They did not turn the vehicle into a fully roofed tank.
