By late 1944 Germany was on the defensive. The main threat was the much larger numbers of the Soviet Army men and equipment. To counter this, Germany placed the PaK-40 75 mm cannon on vehicles with suitable chassis’s. One vehicle was the eight-wheeled Sd.Kfz.234, essentially a Puma with the turret removed and a PaK-40 anti-tank Gun in its place. The Sd.Kfz.234/4 was the last of the eight-wheel armored cars built and because of the continual Allied bombing of the German factories only 89 were produced.
