Captured Soviet BA-10 armored car serving in the Waffen SS

Captured Soviet BA-10 armored car serving in the Waffen SS.

German troops during the first battles in the Soviet Union took over a large number of BA-10 armored cars, many of which were in good working order. The value of BA-10 armored cars for the Germans was small, as a fighting machine was outdated, uncomfortable and even dangerous by design (for example, the fuel tank is located above the heads of the crew). However, this picture can be seen that even the elite SS troops using Soviet BA-10 armored cars. What captured armored vehicles (they were designated by the Germans as Panzerspähwagen BA 203(r)) was used by the Wehrmacht and Waffen SS units – it is very difficult to say no there are no statistics.
