The PzKpfw II Ausf. L Luchs (also designated as Sd.Kfz. 123) is a German light reconnaissance tank that originated from the popular Panzer II series. The project was developed in response to the growing need for mobile reconnaissance vehicles on both the Eastern and Western Fronts during World War II. It was manufactured from 1943, and by May 1944 only 100 examples of this unique vehicle had been built. It was characterized by excellent driving performance, high maneuverability, and lightweight armor.

Luchs tanks were mainly used by German reconnaissance units on all fronts from 1943 until the end of the war, including in the Battle of Kursk, operations on the Western Front, and the defense of Germany in 1944–1945. Thanks to their speed and small size, they excelled in reconnaissance and patrol missions.
