The larger of the pair (the Sd.Kfz. 250 being the lighter one) of the fully armoured wartime half-tracks of the Wehrmacht, the Sd.Kfz. 251 was designed to transport the panzer grenadiers of the German mechanized infantry corps into battle. Sd.Kfz. 251s were the most widely produced German half-tracks of the war, with over 15,252 vehicles and variants produced in total by various manufacturers, and were commonly referred to simply as “Hanomags” by both German and Allied soldiers.
