A German armored-car example of observing and reporting

Paul gives a family example of reconnaissance service in a four-wheeled vehicle associated with the Hermann Göring formation. He recalls a gun of about 20 mm and armor sufficient against ordinary rifle fire, with speed central to the vehicle's usefulness. Its task was to observe and report, by radio when one was fitted or by returning with the information. The example illustrates reconnaissance that depends on concealment and mobility despite carrying a gun. The ensuing disagreement separates the effectiveness of such a local method from Germany's ability to match an opponent's larger scale of production and deployment.
