History:
The Sd.Kfz.234/2 Puma was part of Germany’s effort to produce highly capable reconnaissance vehicles late in WWII. Featuring an all-wheel drive configuration, sloped armour, and a turret-mounted 50mm gun, the Puma provided both mobility and firepower. Deployed primarily on the Western and Eastern Fronts, only 100 units were built between 1943 and 1944. Despite its limited production run, the vehicle left a strong impression on both Allied and Axis forces for its speed and effective combat capabilities in a variety of terrains.
