DoyleDuring WWII Germany fielded a variety of six- and eight-wheeled armored cars which were used in numerous ways including reconnaissance antitank infantry support and other roles. The earliest of these vehicles the 6-Rad or six-wheeled vehicles were based on 6 × 4 truck chassis. Once the limitations of this design became evident later models utilized specially designed all-wheel-drive power trains with the final model the 234 series incorporating a unibody design. Similarly armament evolved from 7.92 mm machine gun to 75 mm PaK 40 cannon and 7. 5 cm StuK40 howitzers. Based on the author's earlier work through over 250 photographs this volume explores 12 major types of these vehicles and delves into the subtle changes made during production.
