The Schwerer Panzerspahwagen were a series of heavy armoured cars with six or eight wheels used by the German army. Intended for the vital role of reconnaissance, scouting ahead of the Panzer tank units to assess enemy strength and intentions, they were large and ungainly but a very fast addition to the German mobile arsenal. The SdKfz 231 (8-rad) was simply the SdKfz231 (6-rad) with eight wheels, armed similarly with a 2cm KwK 30 L/55 autocannon and an MG 13 machine gun.
