“New Nazi Tanks in Use by Nazi Invaders”

It seems to be describing the Saurer. Here is a quote from one of my husband’s tank books:

“The Saurer wheel cum-track Sd.Kfz. 254 was issued only at the beginning of the war. It soon proved mechanically unreliable and was not re-procured.

It was mainly used as a armored observation vehicle for artillery units. A total of only 140 units were in use. “

Below is a link to some photos of the tank.

Interesting. Thanks. I was wondering what that was. Some of the newspaper destriptions of what the germans are using are flat wrong but that seems to be what they were talking about.
