One of the features of this vehicle (which also, unfortunately, required the turret top to be left open) was the ability of the 20mm gun to engage aircraft. Metal screens were mounted on the turret roof, which split when the gun raised, to keep out thrown grenades. Options: None.

<strong>The</strong> Panzerspähwagen 222 was designed in the 1930s as the fast reconnaissance vehicle of the Wehrmacht<br />

armored forces. 989 were manufactured between 1936 and 1943, when production was halted in favor of the<br />

larger and more heavily armed and armored eight-wheeled armored cars. One of the features of this vehicle<br />

(which also, unfortunately, required the turret top to be left open) was the ability of the 20mm gun to engage<br />

aircraft. Metal screens were mounted on the turret roof, which split when the gun raised, to keep out<br />

thrown grenades.<br />
