Machinengewehr-Kraftfahrwagen (Kfz.13)

One of the first armored cars to see widespread service in the early reconnaissance formations of the Reichswehr and Wehrmacht was the Machinengewehr-Kraftfahrwagen, the Kfz.13, which was based on the Adler passenger car. This photograph was taken during the transition from the Reichswehr to the Wehrmacht as the personnel still wear Reichswehr-style caps while the vehicle has Wehrmacht license plates. Note the three-tone, hard-edged camouflage scheme.
