[Eyes of a tank unit that fulfilled its mission in the vast desert]
――In the first half of World War II, the large armored car that became the center of the German reconnaissance unit is the Sd.Kfz.231 series.
――Among them, Sd.Kfz.232 is equipped with a radio for long distances and a large frame antenna that is characteristic of the upper part of the car body.
-Equipped with a turret equipped with a 2 cm machine gun and MG34 machine gun coaxially on a flat body.
――The maximum speed on the road is 90km / h, and in addition to the high running performance by 8-wheel drive, it has a rear cockpit for quick retreat and an elaborate suspension of 8-wheel steering that suppresses the turning radius.
--Sd.Kfz.232 takes advantage of its excellent maneuverability to carry out reconnaissance missions as the eyes of tank units on all fronts from Europe to North Africa and Russia.
――Especially on the North African Campaign, where the vast desert became a battlefield, I regretfully demonstrated its abilities.
