Sd Kfz 223 Radio Armoured Car

The Sd Kfz 223 was a wireless car model of the Sd Kfz 222 Light Armoured Car. Introduced in 1938, it was specifically designed to carry long range radion equipment. The 223 had a smaller turret than the 222 mounting only a 7.62mm MG34 and the frame aerial around the hull. This aerial could be lowered to provide a lower silhouette. In a lowered position, the frame aerial fitted snuggly round the hull. The 223 was employed by HQ units for communicating with divisional or brigade HQ.
