Sd.Kfz. 251, Sonderkraftfahrzeug 251 - German medium half-track armored personnel carrier during the Second World War.
Created by Hanomag in 1938 on the basis of the artillery tractor Sd.Kfz. 11 and was mass-produced from June 1939 to March 1945. During World War II, Sd.Kfz. 251 along with the light Sd.Kfz. 250 was the main armored transporter in Germany, and also served as the basis for a whole family of combat vehicles for various purposes.
In terms of the number of copies produced during World War II, it was second only to the American M3 armored personnel carrier. In its course, Sd.Kfz. 251 was supplied in small quantities to Germany’s allies, and in the post-war period, its modernized version of the Tatra OT-810 was produced in Czechoslovakia until 1962 at the Podpolyansk stroyarne plant in Detva. Most of them were exported to Yugoslavia, some copies were found in conflicts and in the expanses of the former USSR.
