Product Details

The Sd.Kfz. 222 is one of the most recognizable German vehicles from World War II, an important element of the Wehrmacht's reconnaissance forces. Thanks to its light armor and high mobility, the Sd.Kfz. 222 was mainly used for reconnaissance, patrolling and infantry support on various war fronts.

Lightweight, solid construction
The Sd.Kfz. 222 vehicle was equipped with a rotating turret with a 20 mm gun, which gave it a significant advantage in combat. The front and sides of the vehicles were protected by 8 mm thick steel sheets: thinner, 5 mm of sheet metal protected the top, rear and chassis. The turret was not armored from above, the crew was protected from this side only by a protective net against grenades and light shrapnel.

With a maximum speed of 80 km/h and four-wheel drive, this vehicle was excellent for off-road maneuvers. Although its armor was modest, it provided basic protection for the crew.

Mainly used by reconnaissance units, the Sd.Kfz. 222 played a key role in German operations on various fronts of World War II.
