A World War II vehicle with the German word for kitten in its name, was a smaller version of the German tank known by American soldiers as what?
Gepanzerter Mannschaftstransportwagen 'Kätzchen' The Gepanzerter Mannschaftstransportwagen Kätzchen ("Gep. MTW Kätzchen") (German for kitten) was a German armoured personnel carrier of late World War II. Auto-Union delivered two prototypes during 1944-45. The hull's shape was similar to the hull of the "Panzerkampfwagen" Tiger II, but much smaller. The vehicle had front wheel drive with five or six overlapping steel road wheels, possibly resembling the never-built E-25 "replacement tank"'s suspension system in appearance. Power was provided by a Maybach HL50 engine.
BA-64 The BA-64 ("БА-64", from "Bronirovaniy Avtomobil", literally "armoured car") was a Soviet four-wheeled armoured scout car. Built on the chassis of a GAZ-64 or GAZ-67 jeep, it incorporated a hull loosely modeled after that of the SdKfz 221. The BA-64 was developed between July and November 1941 to replace the BA-20 then in service with armoured car units of the Red Army. Cheap and exceptionally reliable, it would later become the most common Soviet wheeled armoured fighting vehicle to enter service during World War II, with over 9,000 being manufactured before production ended.
