Rommel's Kampfstaffel


This is a companion discussion topic for the original entry at https://www.ww2incolor.com/gallery/german-armored-forces-vehicles/21905/rommel's-kampfstaffel

Quite an unusual term - even in German military terminology. "Battle squadron" would do though.

The vehicle to the front of the picture is a Leichter Panzerspahwagen Sd.Kfz.222. It used a standard sPkw 1 Horch 801 (heavy car) chassis with an angled body and turret and used a 90 HP 67Kw HORCH 3.5 petrol engine. Have yet to identify the vehicle in the background.

Can somebody translate Kampfstaffel?
