German Armored Cars In Action
(Soft Cover)
Product Code: SS12050

Overview

By David Doyle.

Germany began developing its heavy armored cars well before the
outbreak of World War II. Germany's early six-wheel armored cars
were based on 6x4 truck chassis, and their off-road mobility was
limited. These vehicles soon gave way to an expanding series of
eight-wheel drive/eight-wheel steer vehicles fitted with a
variety of armament. In time these too were supplanted by even
larger armored cars incorporating refinements based on lessons
learned from the vehicles' field experience, such as heavier
armor, armament, and an air-cooled engine.
Packed with more than 220 period photographs, this book
chronicles the development and deployment of Germany's six and
eight-wheeled armored cars before and during WWII;
