The Leichter Panzerspähwagen (German: roughly "light armoured reconnaissance vehicle") was a series of light four-wheel drive armoured cars produced by Nazi Germany from 1935 to 1944.
Designed to meet operational requirements including reliability, run
on a variety of grades of fuel, simple construction and good off-road
performance the first such vehicle was the Sd Kfz 221 but this proved
too small and too lightly armed, so in 1936-37 a heavier version was
planned, using one of two standard chassis for four-wheel armoured cars,
one with a front-mounted engine, the other rear mounted version, was
used in the Sd Kfz 222, which became the standard light armoured car in
German army service until the defeat of Nazi Germany.
