Historical description: The Steyr ADGZ (M35 Mittlere Panzerwagen) was developed for the Austrian army and produced between 1935 and 1937. At the time of the Anschluss, Austria had 27 units – 12 in the army and 15 with the police. After the German annexation of Austria, the vehicles were taken over by the Wehrmacht and German police, then by Waffen SS units – an additional 25 units were ordered. The ADGZ was notable for its unusual two-directional drive design, allowing the vehicle to be operated from either end, which greatly increased its maneuverability during urban combat and patrols. These cars were used during operations in Eastern Europe and the Balkans, supporting German armored and police units.
