The Kfz.4 (full name: Kfz. 4 Truppenluftschutzkraftwagen) is a German light military off-road vehicle of the interwar period and World War II.
The car entered service in 1938.
Propulsion - most often - was provided by a single 4-cylinder Stöewer engine with a volume of 2 liters and 50 hp.
The car was about 3.9 meters long with a 2.4 meter wheelbase.
Armament consisted of two linked MG34 machine guns.
The Kfz.4 was designed and manufactured by Stöewer, but later BMW and Hanomag also started license production.
The design of the vehicle is largely based on the Kfz.1 and Kfz.3 cars.
For example, all three vehicles had almost identical bodywork.
The Kfz.4 was designed to provide direct short and very short air defense of German motorized and mechanized units.
Its armament is mounted on a rotary tug (German Zwilingslafette 36).
During service, the Kfz.4 proved to be too heavy, with an insufficient power-to-weight ratio, very complex to operate and caused problems in the field.
