Originally designed in the 1930s for Austrian military and police operations, this massive 12-wheeled heavy armored car featured a highly unique, completely symmetrical design with dual driving positions. This allowed the crew to drive backward at full speed to escape narrow street ambushes without turning around. In this video, we break down the engineering marvels of the ADGZ, including its 12-wheel drive system and specialized split-door design. We also dive into its operational history, from security duties on the Eastern Front to its prominent role on the very first day of World War II during the intense 15-hour battle at the Polish Post Office in Danzig. Finally, we separate fact from fiction by looking into the experimental Soviet T-26 turret hybrids and debunking the bizarre myth of these Austrian armored cars operating in post-war Australia. #austria #ww2 #armouredvehicle
