PanzerTriebwagen No. 16 is a German heavy armored motor car powered by a diesel engine with an output of 550 HP. It is based on type WR 550 D14 armored locomotive, then fully encased in armor and equipped with two additional crew members for the armored artillery positions on the two ends of the unit. They were initially armed with two 20mm anti-aircraft gun and a 2 cm Flakvierling 38. The armament was replaced with a Russian 76.2 mm FK 295/1 artillery cannon (as found on type BP42 armored trains). This vehicle was the heaviest single-rail armored vehicle. Only one copy was built, which fought on the Eastern Front. In 1943, PzTrWg 16 was a reserve weapon, which was used to patrol areas threatened by the guerrillas. In the spring and summer of 1944 it was deployed to Army Group Centre. It saw action in the battles of Rawa, Ruska and Lublin, then was withdrawn to Radom after moving the front to the west.
