The PM, the Armored Motorboat was designed to be a*
reconnaissance and patrol vessel with numerous MGs*
and two tank guns. The first vessel the PM 1 was*
built in 1940. Two more followed it but only in 1944*
when they were destroyed by aerial bombings. The PM1*
was planned to have a special turret but until 1942*
it had two temporary open turrets with a 20mm gun*
each. In 1942 the PM 1 was equipped with modified*
Turan turrets with improved 40mm tank guns. The PM 1*
escorted the Patrol Boats Kecskemet and Debrecen.*
It covered the rescue of the Debrecen's crew when it*
was critically damaged by Soviet forces. The PM 1*
also recieved seriously damage but their fire was*
successfully muted the enemy guns. After repairs the*
PM 1 served with the Patrol Boats fighting along*
the Danube.**

Gaming Notes: The Armored Boats have a scout team to*
conduct shore reconnaissance.*
