AMD.35: History of the Little Tank That Could
The Panhard 178, officially designated the Automitrailleuse de Découverte Panhard modèle 1935, also known in the game primarily as the AMD.35, was a French 4×4 armoured car designed for French Army Cavalry units. The AMD.35, alongside being equipped with various cannons, was also used by Nazi Germany and converted to use the 5 cm KwK 38 L/42 (used as the main armament of the Panzer III) or the 5 cm PaK 38 L/60 (primarily used as a towed anti-tank gun). The Pz.Sp.Wg.P204(f) KwK 39/1 is fitted with the 5 cm KwK 39. The AMD.35 became the first mass-produced 4×4 armoured car for a major country and was considered very advanced for its time, with its variants, including the Panhard 178B, remaining relevant until the 1970s.
