The Sd.Kfz.251 half-track was an armored fighting vehicle and was used by the Wehrmacht on all fronts, during the Second World War. Powered by a Maybach 6-cylinder petrol engine was able to achieve, even in off-road terrain, the speed of 55 km / h. Produced in huge numbers, it was mainly used to transport the “Panzergrenadiers” but, during the war, several versions has been developed to meet various operational needs. The halftrack Sd.Kfz. 251/10 (Schützenpanzerwagen) was used as a platoon command vehicle and was armed with a 37mm PaK 36 anti-tank gun fitted with a protective shield. Production of the 251 ceased in 1942 when the cannon became increasingly ineffective against more advanced enemy armored tanks and vehicles.
