Home > SdKfz 223


 

The SdKfz 223 was a radio car version of the SdKfz_221 4x4 scout car. It included additional radio equipment, and had a large "bed-frame" antenna above the vehicle to give the radio additional range.

The SdKfz 223 was armed with a 7.92 mm machine gun. Armor consisted of 8 mm of moderately-sloped homogeneous steel armor on the front and sides, with thinner 5 mm plates on the top, bottom, and rear.

The SdKfz 223 was powered by a 90 horsepower (67 kW) Horch 3.5 engine, giving it a road speed of 50 mph (80 km/h), a cross-country speed of 25 mph (40 km/h), and a maximum range of 185 miles (300 km).

Between 1935 and 1944, some 550 SdKfz 223 vehicles were produced.
