Info about the DAF M39 ???

[Landsverk180]

The pneumatic tyres are a German feature. The solid wheels / rubber rings worn out quite fast and although the machinery/mechanical features of the Landsverk were of German production, the rubber rings wasn't - so when spare wheels had been used up - this was the solution.

One wonder how this affected movement on road/light terrain...
Probably less bumpy for the crew, but one wonders about the bigger dimension and possible mobility in terrain?

The vehicles are ex-Dutch for sure, the camoflauged vehicle probably photographed at the Leningrad front.

The third photo shows the Commandopantserwagen M.38.
A beautiful photo of an easy-to-like vehicle!

Hello to all ; more............................

Pantserwagen M39 or DAF Pantrado 3.

The Pantserwagen M39 or DAF Pantrado 3 was a Dutch armored vehicle 6 × 4 produced in the late Thirties for the Royal Netherlands Army. From 1936, the Dutch military company DAF produced a design in order to meet military specifications to have a reconnaissance vehicle and get a small local production capacity of armored vehicles. A prototype was built from early 1939 and then twelve vehicles of the type DAF M39, the last of which was delivered in January 1940. The vehicles were designed to equip reconnaissance platoons of four regiments of cavalry Hussars.

For its time the DAF 39 was a modern design with a fully welded monocoque and extensive use of sloped armor. The turret was equipped with a relatively powerful 37mm gun produced by the Swedish firm Landsverk. The armored vehicle was lightly with a good ability to travel cross-country. It was intended to build an improved series 6 x 6 called DAF 40 but preparations for its construction were suspended with the German attack in May 1940 ...................... ..
