The Sd.Kfz 251 was a 3-ton half-track produced by Hanomag, however the hull and superstructure were
built by Bussing-NAG. The first examples were delivered to the German forces in early 1939,
and it went on to become a mainstay of the Panzer formations. It had a 6-cylinder engine that
produced 100hp, and could do 32 MPH on a good road, all while carrying up to 12 troops. It
was primarily used as an armoured personal carrier, however there were a multitude of variants and
modifications.
This vehicle is from the 2nd Panzer Division out of Illinois. If you have more information
about this vehicle or crew that you would like to share, please contact me
