The Sd.Kfz.263 Panzerfunkwagen is a German armored command vehicle designed for communication operations. It served in German forces mainly during the campaigns in Poland, France, and on the Eastern Front in the early years of World War II (1939–1942). The design was based on the chassis of the Sd.Kfz.231 armored car with its distinctive six-wheel configuration and featured an extensive frame antenna that enabled long-range radio communication on the battlefield.
