ICM Sd.Kfz.251/1 Ausf.A with 4 German Infantry Figures

Description

The Sd.Kfz.251 half-track armoured personnel carrier was the primary armoured transport vehicle of the German Wehrmacht. It was developed by the company Hanomag in 1938, based on the artillery tractor Sd.Kfz.11, with serial production starting in the summer of the following year. The Sd.Kfz.251 armoured personnel carriers were produced in four main variants—Ausf.A, B, C, and D—and there were 23 different versions for various army needs, differentiated by their armament and equipment. The 251/1 variant was the standard transport vehicle for the German motorised infantry, capable of carrying one squad of soldiers. These combat vehicles were in service with the German Army throughout World War II and were used in all theatres of combat, with a total of 15,252 units produced in various series and modifications. Among other armoured personnel carriers produced during World War II, they were second only to the American M3 in terms of quantity. The Sd.Kfz.251 Ausf.A was produced from 1939 to 1940.
