ACE 72511 German Einheits-Pkw Kfz.2 - signals motor vehicle

The Kfz.2 is a German, light, military all-terrain vehicle from the interwar period and World War II. The production of the car took place in the years 1936-1943. As a result, about 13,000 cars of this type were produced. The drive - most often - was provided by a single 4-cylinder Stöewer engine with a capacity of 2 liters and 50 HP. The car was about 3.9 meters long with a wheelbase of 2.4 meters. The Kfz.2 was designed and produced by Stöewer, but later BMW and Hanomag also started licensing production. Interestingly, the vehicles produced in individual plants differed from each other, e.g. in terms of the drive unit. For the most part, the units produced were all-wheel drive. The cars also had a body with only three doors: two on the left side and a single door on the right. Vehicles of this type were used primarily as radio communication vehicles (German: Funkkraftwagen). Kfz.2 cars were used in virtually all fronts of World War II, including during the fighting on the Eastern Front.
