The Sd.Kfz.234 is the successor of the eight wheeled armored cars Sd.Kfz.231 which were developed in the 30's. These new armored cars had a new design and a powerful engine. All axles are driven and steerable. The most advantage was the feature of two drivers - one for normal driving and one for backward driving. So they could drive back within seconds without turning, which was an important feature for a recon vehicle that the 234 initially was supposed to be. The weight of slightly below 12 tons and the 220hp engine allowed a top speed of around 90km/h!
This version, called the "Puma" was armed with a 5cm KwK39/1 L/60 and a coaxial 7,92mm MG42 in a fully rotatable turret. There were 55 rounds for the main gun carried within the vehicle and the "Puma" was the first heavy armed recon tank of the Wehrmacht. From December 1943 to June 1944 only 101 pieces of the "Puma" were produced. Only 13 of a Pz.Sp.Kp.a were outfitted with the long range Fu12 transmitter.
