The Kfz.4 (full name: Kfz. 4 Truppenluftschutzkraftwagen) is a German light off-road military vehicle from the interwar period and World War II. The car entered service in 1938. It was powered -most of the time- by a single 4-cylinder Stöewer engine with a capacity of 2 liters and 50 HP. The car was about 3.9 meters long with a wheelbase of 2.4 meters. The armament consisted of two paired MG34 machine guns. The Kfz.4 was designed and produced by Stöewer, but later BMW and Hanomag also began to license production. The design of the vehicle was largely based on the Kfz.1 and Kfz.3 cars. For example, all three vehicles had almost the same bodywork. The Kfz.4 was designed to provide direct short and very short-range anti-aircraft defense against German motorized and mechanized units. Its armament was mounted on a rotating trailer (German Zwilingslafette 36). During service, the Kfz.4 proved to be too heavy, with an insufficient power-to-weight ratio, too complicated to operate, and problematic in the field.
