Notes | The M38 was a medium armoured car which originated from Sweden and was built by Landsverk as the L180. It was armed with a 37mm canon in a fully revolving turret and three machine guns. The Dutch purchased fourteen of these vehicles from Landsverk in 1938 and two of these arrived with no main gun so were issued as command vehicles. The M38 were issued to the 2nd armoured car squadron which also contained one command version. |
