| Subject: | Re: Panzerbefehlswagen info needed |  |
| Date: | Jan 21, 2006 |
| From: | Ron Becker | |
There were 3 series of Panzerbefehlswagen I.
Series 1: No commander's cupola, just a split hatch in the superstructure roof; no additional armor; shortened rear hull. 25 built.
Series 2: Commander's cupola added; additional side armour added; regular Pz IB hull. 47 built.
Series 3: Commander's cupola slightly modified; additional side armor deleted some time during the production run; pistol ports added left front and right rear late in production run. 112 built.
My slightly educated guess for the armour configs would be:
Regular: no extra front armour, extra side armour or no extra side armour
Tropical: extra front armour; no extra side armour (appear to be modified 3rd series)
Frame: no extra front armour; no extra side armour (appear to be modified 3rd series as well)
I'm sure there were exceptions.
And that's my final word until ...
Enjoy
