moto-armored car D-2

 

Captured Soviet moto-armored car D-2 in the service of the Nazi Wehrmacht. The photo was taken on the central section of the Eastern Front. The D-2 armored car has undergone modernization, which is also indicated by the installed rod and frame antenna of the German model.

In total, 30 serial motor-armored cars D-2 were manufactured. In the summer of 1941, troops of the NKVD for the protection of railway structures during the fighting lost 7 moto-armored cars D-2, which, after repairs, were incorporated by the Germans into the Wehrmacht. The remaining D-2s were used by the NKVD until the end of the Second World War and were written off from the armed forces in the late 1940s.
