Historical description of the vehicle:

The Skoda PA-II, also known as the “Turtle” because of its distinctive rounded armor, was a Czechoslovak armored car designed between 1922-1923 by the Škoda company. In the military it was used mainly by the Czechoslovak Army, with single examples also operated by Austria, Hungary, and Germany.
The PA-II Turtle was designed for border patrol duties and to suppress local unrest in challenging urban and mountainous conditions. It stood out for its cylindrical, streamlined hull, providing improved ballistic protection. The vehicle entered service in the mid-1920s and remained active throughout the interwar period, with some examples participating in actions during World War II, particularly during the annexation of Czechoslovakia by the Third Reich.
