About the Sd.Kfz. 251 Ausf. D:
The SdKfz 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 D version utilised a much simpler design, and can be easily recognised
by its single piece sloping rear (with flat doors).
Although designed for cross country work, it had some limitations as the front
wheels were not powered.
