Sd.Kfz 263 8 rad Armored Car

The eight-wheel Sd.Kfz. 263 was a German armored radio vehicle related to the Sd.Kfz. 231 reconnaissance family. Its fixed upper body and conspicuous antenna arrangements emphasized long-range communications rather than the turreted cannon armament of some related cars. It supported headquarters and reconnaissance coordination during the Second World War. The eight-wheel Sd.Kfz. 263 differed from the earlier six-wheel armored radio vehicle that carried the same designation. 263, since the two vehicles do not share the same chassis. A communications vehicle could be more valuable for directing a dispersed reconnaissance screen than for fighting alone. Its specialized role explains why it lacked the same turret as related gun-armed cars.
