Considered the German Army’s most important armoured half-track in WWII,
the SdKfz251 allowed the infantry to keep up with the Heer's fast armoured
elements. The vehicle came in four models and 23 variants, but the Ausf D
was the most produced model. In fact, AusfDs represented nearly 70 percent of
SdKfz 251s built during wartime. The type's simplified design was the main
contributor to this variant being produced in such substantial numbers, and the
Ausf D was the first of the 251s to have stowage bins built into the sides of
the half track. This mass-produced, streamlined vehicle truly proved its worth
in WWII and saw action on every front. Illustrated with over 150 colour
photographs, detailed line drawings, and eight coloured profiles. A must
have book for the armour, modelling, history, and military
enthusiast.
