CFS Macro--Sd. Kfz 232 (8-Rad). The heavy Panzerspahwagen was a large but very fast addition to the German mobile arsenal of the early war years. The original 6-Rad (6 wheeled) versions were based on a 6x4 truck with armoured body, but by 1937 they were being replaced by the 8-Rad versions. During the replacement, the Sd. Kfz - (Sonderkraftfahrzeug, or special purpose vehicle) numbers were carried directly over; differentiation is made by the addition of 6-Rad or 8-Rad (Ger: "6 wheel" or "8 wheel") in the vehicle name. By Edmundo Abad.

CFS Macro--M8 Greyhound. The M8 Light Armored Car was a 6x6 armored car produced by the Ford Motor Company during World War II. It was used by the U.S. and British troops in Europe and the Far East until the end of the war. The vehicle was widely exported and as of 2006 still remains in service with some third world countries. In British service, the M8 was known as the Greyhound. The British Army found it too lightly armored, particularly the hull floor where anti-tank mines could easily penetrate (crews' solution was lining the floor of the crew compartment with sandbags). Nevertheless, it had good off-road capabilities and was produced in large numbers. The M8 Greyhound's excellent mobility made it a great supportive element in the advancing American and British armored columns. By Edmundo Abad.

CFS Macro--Sd. Kfz. 251. The Sd. Kfz. 251 (Sonderkraftfahrzeug 251) half-track was an armored fighting vehicle designed and first built by the Hanomag company during World War II, and based on their earlier, unarmored Sd. Kfz. 11 vehicle. he larger of the pair (the Sd. Kfz. 250 being the lighter one) of the fully armored wartime half-tracks of the Wehrmacht, the Sd. Kfz. 251 was designed to transport the panzergrenadiers of the German mechanized infantry corps into battle. Sd. Kfz. 251s were the most widely produced German half-tracks of the war, with over 15, 252 vehicles and variants produced by various manufacturers, and were commonly referred to simply as "Hanomags" by both German and Allied soldiers. By Edmundo Abad.

CFS Macro--Sd. Kfz. 6. The Sd. Kfz. 6 was a 5-ton half-track military vehicle used by the German Wehrmacht, Luftwaffe and Waffen-SS during the Second World War. (Sd. Kfz. is an abbreviation of the German word Sonderkraftfahrzeug, "special purpose vehicle".) Was produced by both Bassing-NAG and Daimler-Benz with 3660 vehicles built between 1935 and 1943, in the "standard" artillery/engineer versions as well as the basis for the Sd. Kfz. 6/2 3. 7cm Flak and the Sd. Kfz. 6/3 7. 62cm Pak 36 (r) auf 5t Zugkraftwagen "Diana". By Edmundo Abad.

CFS Macro--Leyland Retriever. The Leyland Retriever was a typical member of the British early-war 6x4 3-ton truck class, fitted with the standard WD rear bogie, built by the British Leyland Company for Commonwealth and Allied forces during the Second World War.
