About the Sd.Kfz.222

The Sd.Kfz.222 featured an open turret with mesh covers to shield its three crew members from grenades and shrapnel. Armed with a 20 mm cannon and a 7.92 mm machine gun, and renowned for capable off-road performance, it served effectively as a reconnaissance vehicle across multiple theatres.
