I'm looking for some information on the German Sd Kfz 221 armoured car.
In 1942 they upgunned some of them with the 2.8cm sPzB41 anti-tank rifle/gun in place of the single MG-34.
What I wanted to find out is:
1. Was the gun able to rotate 360 degrees in the turret or was it just a limited traverse similar to the 37mm ATG's mounted on the Sd Kfz 251/10 half-tracks?
2. What was the crew size on this model?
I've never seen a photo of one with the gun pointing to the side, only forward. The original 221 had only a 2 man crew (driver and turret MG operator) I would seem like a lot of work for one man to operate the 2.8cm gun!
