Post your armoured recon and halftracked vehicles

[chucky555]

I was just wondering as I have a copy of it. A Hoffmann press photo (so there can be many copies) taken on 15th january 1942.

I've noticed that too. I'd get an original picture, then find it in a book.

An Sd.Kfz.223 with a rarely seen antiaircraft MG installation (maybe I showed this earlier somewhere before).

This time I can put these four page from a antiaircraft training manual from 1944. You will see how these three rings were used.

Could this modified Horch vehicle with Saar plates be considered an armored recon or scout car?

The sign says: "Klundert" which is in Holland.

Cheers,

This is just an "Attrappe" used for training, notice that the left mudguard has the WH painted on to show that the vehicle is a civilian vehicle taken into army service. Have a look on the link for many more such mock ups.

An Sd.Kfz.221 "Stroppchen" ( so I read but I'm open to suggestion... ). MG34 is equipped with AA sight.
