Sonder Kfz-1
The Sonder Kfz-1 and SK-1, also known as Garant 30k SK-1, was an East German armored patrol vehicle introduced by the East German Police from 1953. It was used by the Riot Police and just short time by the National People's Army. The SK-1 is the chassis of a Robur Garant 30K truck fitted with an armored body and a light turret. There is a door in the rear of the hull for the crew to enter, and a hatch on top of the turret. The turret has several vision slits and a hole for a machinegun. With the reunification of Germany, most of the SK-1s were scrapped, except for some sent to museums or private collectors.[1]
