History and Use

The D.Kfz. 140/1 (Sd.Kfz. 140/1 Aufklärungspanzer 38(t)) was a light reconnaissance vehicle primarily used by the German army (Wehrmacht) during World War II. It resulted from the adaptation of the proven Panzer 38(t) tank chassis, which was widely used by Germany and other Axis armies. The Sd.Kfz. 140/1 was equipped with a turret featuring a 20 mm KwK 38 L/55 autocannon, providing effectiveness against both infantry and lightly armored targets.

The vehicle took part in many campaigns on both the Eastern and Western fronts between 1943 and 1945. Its fast, maneuverable chassis enabled it to effectively fulfill reconnaissance and fire support roles for infantry units.
