In September 1943 50 per cent of the Sd Kfz 234 production was ordered to mound the 75mm KwK (H24).This was decreased to 25 per cent in June 1944 , reflecting an organizational change by the reconnaissance troops.
The Sd Kfz 234/3 consisted of the basic Sd Kfz 234 hull without a turret.The superstructure roof was open with the 75mm KwK51 in a gun shield at the front of the superstructure.
Six Sd Kfz 234/3 made up a platoon of the Panzerspähwagen company (d) to support the nineteen Sd Kfz 234/1.They were also issued to the armored reconnaissance companies during the closing months of the war to give anti-tank support to the other armored cars.
