Description
The Sdkfz 234/1 and Sdkfz 234/2 Heavy Armoured Cars: German Army and Waffen-SS on the Western and Eastern Fronts, 1944-1945 The development of the Sdkfz 234 series of heavy eight-wheeled armored cars was a response to the limitations of earlier reconnaissance vehicles. Büssing-NAG led the program, which resulted in the production of rugged and reliable vehicles that were gradually up-armed for infantry support and eventually used as tank killers. This book concludes the story of the Sdkfz 234 series, focusing on the versions that saw action in the final battles of the war. Using archive photos and extensively researched color illustrations, Dennis Oliver examines the Sdkfz 234/1 and Sdkfz 234/2, as well as the units that operated these vehicles. The book also features a section on model kits and aftermarket products, along with a gallery of beautifully constructed and painted models in various scales. Technical details and modifications introduced during production and in the field are also covered, making this book a valuable resource for modelers. By exploring the Sdkfz 234 series, this book provides a detailed look at a lesser-known aspect of World War II history, shedding light on the often-overlooked armored vehicles that played a significant role in the final battles of the war.
