The Pz.Kpfw. II Ausf. L “Luchs” (Lynx) is a German light reconnaissance tank used during World War II. Designed for speed and agility, it was equipped with a 20 mm cannon and an MG 34 machine gun. Weighing around 13 tons, the “Luchs” could reach a top speed of 60 km/h, powered by a 180-horsepower Maybach engine.
