<strong>The</strong> Panzerspähwagen 233 eight-wheeled armored car was a modified version of the PSW 232 with the turret<br />
removed and a 75mm L/24 gun mounted in a fixed position which enabled it to fire over the front of the<br />
vehicle. 109 of these vehicles were built and 10 more converted from PSW 232 between late 1942 and late<br />
1943. This vehicle provided some direct-fire artillery support to the reconnaissance units of the Wehrmacht,<br />
being issued to the reconnaissance battalions in platoons of six vehicles each.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Panzerspähwagen 234/1 eight-wheeled armored car replaced the previous PSW 222 and PSW 232 in<br />
service as the Wehrmacht’s primary reconnaissance vehicle. 200 were built between mid-1944 and early 1945,<br />
and these were issued to reconnaisance battalions. This vehicle mounted a turret similar to that of the PSW<br />
222 and SPW 250/9. Like the PSW 232, this vehicle could be driven in reverse (6 gears).<br />
Options: None.
