The German armoured car ‘Schwerer Panzerspähwagen Sd.Kfz. 234/2″, known as the “Puma”, was developed and produced by the German war machine in the final years of the Second World War. The vehicle proved to be an excellent combination of mobility, protection and firepower, based on operational experience gained by the Wehrmacht in the early stages of the conflict.

Since 1939, the German Army had used armoured vehicles very effectively for advanced reconnaissance tasks and to support its troops on the ground. The “Puma” was initially a reconnaissance vehicle, but because of its 50 mm KwK 39 L / 60 gun, it could be used just as effectively in offensive actions against infantry and other armoured vehicles. It was used in limited numbers on both the Eastern and Western Fronts. The highly effective independent suspension of the eight wheels and the powerful engine enabled the Puma to reach speeds of up to 90 km/h on all types of terrain.
