The German armored car “Schwerer Panzerspähwagen Sd.Kfz. 234/2”, known as “Puma”, was developed and produced in the last years of the Second World War. The vehicle proved to be an excellent mix of mobility, protection and firepower, building on the Wehrmacht's operational experience in the early stages of the conflict.

From 1939 onwards, the Wehrmacht had used armored vehicles very effectively for extended reconnaissance tasks and also to support their troops. The “Puma” was initially a reconnaissance vehicle, but due to its KwK 39 L / 60 50 mm gun it could be used just as effectively in offensive operations against infantry and other armored vehicles. It was used in limited numbers on both the Eastern and Western Fronts. The highly effective eight-wheel independent suspension system and powerful engine enabled the Puma to reach speeds of up to 90 km/h on all types of battlefield terrain.
