Historical information and application

This vehicle was widely used on all fronts—from the Eastern Front, through North Africa, to the Western Front during the Normandy invasion and the Battle of the Ardennes. The D version differed with a simplified construction for faster production while maintaining a high level of protection for the crew and troops.
