Nice Niels!
Ik weet dat de 9e SS pz div. (Hohenstaufen) ze had ten tijde van Arnhem (sept. '44) dus grote kans dat ze ook in Normandië al in bezit waren.
Dit weet ik echter niet zeker.
Groet en succes!

misschien een antwoord op je vraag:
The newly formed Panzer Lehr division was given highest priority concerning supplies of new machines & equipment. The Panzer Lehr division, formed in France in January 1944, was equipped with a complete Panzerspäh-Kompanie Typ A with SdKfz. 234/2 for the Pz. Aufk.-Abt. The company was originally the first in the battalion, but it was later reorganized as a part of the staff company.
The 1st SS Panzer Division "Liebstandarte Adolf Hitler" which was stationed in Belgium for refit and reorganization, reported on the 15th of June 1944 that it had 10 out of the supposed 16 SdKfz. 234. These were issued to the 4th Panzerspäh-Kompanie in the Pz. Aufk.-Abt. They were all, most probably, SdKfz. 234/2 as the first 234/1 and 234/3 machines just had been assembled at the Daimler-Benz factory.
Wehrmacht's 2. Panzer Division also had SdKfz. 234/2 in France in the summer of 1944. They were all issued to the Pz. Aufk.-Abt. 1st Panzerspäh-Kompanie.
There are reports about SdKfz. 234/2 in the 9th SS Panzer Division "Hohenstaufen" which saw action in Normandy. They probably belonged to the SS Panzer Aufklärungs-Abteilung 9 in the division.
Against the Allied invasion in June 1944 stood at least four Panzer divisions equipped with SdKfz. 234/2:
- 2nd Panzer Division
- 1st SS Panzer Division "LSSAH"
- 9th SS Panzer Division "Hohenstaufen"
- Panzer Lehr Division
The Panzer Lehr Division's Panzeraufklärungs-Lehr-Abteilung 130 was spearheading the divisions drive on the invasion area on the 8th/9th of June 1944.
Panzeraufklärungs-Abteilung 2 of the 2. Panzer Division engaged the allies for the first time with their 234/2 "Puma" machines, attacking elements of the US 26th Infantry Division in Caumont on the night to the 13th of June.
The 1st SS Pz. Div. "LSSAH" did not see combat until later.
The Normandy campaign ended in a disaster for the Third Reich, and its units were badly damaged. The few units that survived the Falaise pocket
(Panzer Lehr Division had 8 SdKfz. 234/2 left on the 22nd of August 1944), lost most of its heavy equipment during the retreat in August/September of 1944.
As the allies were forced to halt their offensive in the autumn of 1944, the Germans were given the opportunity to restore the combat value of some of its units. In general, all combat vehicles had to be replaced. The SdKfz. 234/1 and 234/3 were now more available than 234/2 machines. The 2nd SS Pz. Div. "Das Reich" which probably didn't have any 234's during the summer, did have 234/1 machines in its SS Panzeraufklärungs-Abteilung 2 at least from October of 1944.
Panzeraufklärungs-Lehr-Abteilung 130 were provided with at least 7 new 234/2 during the autumn of 1944.
The 12th SS Panzer Division "Hitlerjugend" made its first contact with the 234 series in October/November of 1944, as 16 new 234 machines and 30 SdKfz. 250 equipped a Panzerspäh-Kompanie. The 16 234's were mostly 234/1 and some 234/2, but eventually also 234/3.
All earlier mentioned units (except for the 9th SS PzDiv.) saw action in the Battle of the Bulge, and one of the units who reached longest to the west (on Antwerp) was the Panzeraufklärungs-Abteilung 2 and Panzer Lehr-Aufklärungs-Abteilung.
The 16th Panzer Division and 20th Panzer Division were also provided with an unknown number of SdKfz. 234/2 in 1944/45.
The 11th Freiwillige PanzerGrenadier Division fought with SdKfz. 234/2 in Ostdeutschland in spring of 1945.
The 1st SS Pz. Div. "LSSAH", 2nd SS Pz. Div. "Das Reich " and the 12th SS Pz. Div. "Hitlerjugend" along others were transferred to Hungary in February of 1945.
Panzer Lehr and the 2nd Panzer Division remained in the west.
nabrander:
As the Panzer divisions involved in the Normandy campaign were rebuilt in the fall of 1944 the Sd Kfz 234/2 was no longer available in any numbers and was replaced with the more readily available Sd Kfz 234/1 and Sd Kfz 234/3 at that time. With the end of the campaign in Normandy, so too ended the reign of the Puma as the Panzer division’s premiere armoured car.
