The Sd.Kfz.234/3 chassis saw little change from the Sd.KFZ.234/2 Puma. What was changed was the superstructure and the top armored plate was removed. With the turret removed it was replaced by armor plates on all 4 sides. A new 7.5cm KwK51 L/24 short barreled main gun was installed in the open topped fighting compartment. 6 Sd.Kfz.234/3 vehicles made up a platoon of the Panzerspähwagen Company to support the SdKfz 234/1s. In December 1944 Budapest Hungary was held by German and Hungarian troops. On December 29, 1944 the Soviets forces encircled the city in an attempt to recaptured Budapest. The LSSAH was part of the reinforcements that arrived a few days before Budapest was finally taken by Soviet forces on February 13, 1945. After several attacks and counter-attacks the city fell and only a small percentage of Axis troops managed to escape using darkness and heavy fog to hide them.
