Sd.Kfz.263 Funkspähwagen
The German Army embraced the 8-wheeled vehicle concept well before any other nation, and the 8-wheeled design has gained popularity for APC/IFVs worldwide.
The most successful German heavy reconnaissance armoured car before the war was the Sd.Kfz.231 8-rad, which eventually soldiered on every front, replaced in 1944 by the much heavier Sd.Kfz.234.
A special version was derived from the Sd.Kfz.231 as soon as 1940, the Sd.Kfz.263 (Gerat 95), also called Funkspähwagen. Although a radio-equipped version already existed, the special vehicle 263 was a tailor-made, turret-less command vehicle with a roomy compartment, map table and seating. In all, 240 were built, which served on all fronts at the head of recce units until the end of the war.
