German Armoured Halftracks

The German military, recognising the need for armoured infantry support during WW2, developed the Sd.Kfz 251 and 250 halftracks. Starting with the Sd.Kfz 251 in 1939, based on the Sd.Kfz 11 chassis, these vehicles could transport infantry alongside German tanks. They served various functions, including as weapons platforms and communication vehicles. The Sd.Kfz 250, introduced in 1941 for reconnaissance, supported armoured units on all fronts until war's end, highlighting the versatility and significance of these halftracks in the German military strategy.
