Bundeswehr Panzeraufklärungskompanie Heeresstruktur 2, 1959–1970

Table of Organisation & Equipaggiamento

In 1958 the West German Bundeswehr adopted the Heerestruktur 2 organisation. The newly structured tank e fanteria meccanizzata brigades received an armoured reconnaissance company each, equipped con Spähpanzer kurz recon tanks. SpähPz kurz was well armed con a 20 mm auto-cannon which provided enough firepower to deal con recce veicoli nemici, trasporti truppe corazzati, e fanteria forward positions typically encountered on patrol. Due SpähPz formed an armoured patrol.

Compared to other veicoli corazzati of the period, SpähPz kurz was relatively quiet, especially when driven at low rpm. In 1975, the armoured recce units of the Bundeswehr received the amphibious Spähpanzer Luchs a 8 ruote, a superb recce vehicle con state-of-the-art noise-reduction.
