About the 234/1:
The original 234/1 8x8 reconnaissance vehicle was based on the same hull as
the famous Sd.Kfz.234/2 Puma armored car, and 200 vehicles were produced between
June 1944 and January 1945. Its main armament was a 2cm KwK38 L/55 and an MG42
machine gun mounted in a hexagonal turret, weapons that were designed to effectively
counter Allied air attacks
