About the vehicle – Kfz.2 - German light signals car (le.gl.Einheits-Pkw):

Kfz.2 is the designation for the signals version of the light off-road standardised car le.gl.Einheits-Pkw (leichter geländegängiger Einheits-Personenkraftwagen). It was part of a German programme to standardise military vehicles, aimed at simplifying production and parts supply. Bodies were built by various makers (Stöwer, BMW, Hanomag among others) on a common four-wheel-drive chassis, and early examples also had four-wheel steering.

The Kfz.2 version served as a radio car (Funkkraftwagen), carrying signals equipment and its operators. These cars accompanied staffs and front-line units, providing radio communications over short and medium ranges. Production ran from 1936 to 1943; the costly, complex design was eventually dropped in favour of simpler and cheaper standard vehicles based on civilian chassis.
