product description
The German World War II Sd.Kfz. 251/1 Ausf.D was the late version, armoured personnel half-track carrier. Based on its earlier, unarmored Sd.Kfz. 11 predecessor, the Sd.Kfz.251/1 was designed to transport Panzergrenadiers, German mechanized infantry, into the battlefield.
The Sd.Kfz. 251’s armour plates provided standard as well as armour piercing protection against standard bullets. Its open top design granted a substantial, tactical situational awareness and faster egress, action going out by the infantry, as well as hurl grenades and fire over the top of the fighting compartment while remaining under good cover.
With more than 15,000 units produced during World War II, many variants of the Sd.Kfz.151/1 were produced as munition or multiple rocket launchers as well as few half tracks fitted with captured French R35 tank turrets in France.
