History and Use of the Marmon-Herrington (e) Panzerspahwagen

The presented variant is based on British Marmon-Herrington armored cars that were captured by German forces in North Africa. The Germans adapted these vehicles for their own needs, giving them the designation "Panzerspahwagen (e)", where the letter "e" stands for "erbeutet", meaning captured vehicle. These cars were mainly used for reconnaissance missions in desert areas, where their good mobility was especially valued. They were in use from 1941 to 1943, primarily during the North African campaign of World War II.
