About the Sd.Kfz. 251:
The Sd.Kfz. 251 half-track was an armoured fighting vehicle built by Germany
during World War II.
There were four main models (A - D), with many variants. The initial idea was
for a vehicle that could be used to transport a squad of troops to the battlefield
protected from enemy fire. The open top meant that the crew was still vulnerable.
The first 2 models were produced in small numbers. The C variant had a larger
production run, but was a quite complex vehicle to build, involving many angled
plates that gave reasonable protection from small arms fire. The D version utilized
a much simpler design, and can be easily recognized by its single piece sloping
rear (with flat doors).
