German Armored Forces & Vehicles
Standard Kfz 13 armoured car, armed with MG13 7.92mm machine-gun. This vehicle carried no radio, relying on semaphore communication; collective communication was supplied by the radio-equipped, unarmed Kfz 14 variant. This was one of the earliest "new" armoured cars to enter service with the Reichswehr/Wehrmacht. Conceived as an armoured scout car, it entered service in 1934. Due to be replaced by the Sd Kfz 221 by 1939, the "early" arrival of war meant that many Kfz 13 and 14 remained in service, some certainly as late as 1941. Best regards, JR.
