Sd.Kfz. 250

Armored Vehicles

The Sd.Kfz. 250 was a light armoured half track built for Nazi Germany, closely resembling the larger Hanomag designed Sd.Kfz. 251 but on a shorter chassis. Designed from 1939 to supplement standard half tracks, it was open topped with rear access and typically mounted one or two MG34 machine guns in its basic form. About 6,628 were built between 1941 and 1945, and the type served throughout the Second World War in reconnaissance, command and fire support roles.
