The German Schwerer Panzerspähwagen Sd.Kfz. 234/2 armoured car, known as the "Puma", was developed and produced in the final years of World War II. The vehicle proved to be an excellent blend 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 armoured vehicles very effectively for extended reconnaissance duties and also to support its 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 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 system of the eight wheels and the powerful engine enabled the Puma to reach speeds of up to 90 km/h on all types of battlefield terrain.
