The SdKfz 251 ( Sandderkraftfahrzeug 251 ) is a versatile half-track vehicle designed and produced by the infantry and tank cooperative tactics of the early German armored units of the Second World War . There are more than 20 models of the SdKfz 251 ( Sanderkraftfahrzeug 251 ) , with a total production capacity of approximately 15,000 vehicles. This is the core infantry used by the Germans in World War II. Battle vehicle.

Design [ edit ]
The car used the popular half-track transport method at that time to increase the passability under harsh terrain (half-track models were quickly eliminated after World War II). The chassis of the 3tHLKL6 half tracked truck developed by Borgward Company of Germany was used for the specific reference to the technical basis of the 3 ton SdKft 11 unarmored tractor. Modified and developed on the SdKfz 250 model, the body of the SdKfz 250 was expanded to form a versatile half-crawler armored vehicle capable of carrying 10 infantry (including 12 drivers in the front seat and deputy) using Maybach. HL42TUKRM engine, power 100HP.
The engine transmission shaft only provides power to the drive wheels of the crawler. It is not as powerful as the US-based half-track vehicles with steering wheels. The concept is relatively backward. However, the track is designed to have a differential when steering more than 15 degrees, similar to the entire The advanced design of tracked vehicles brings with it complex structures and low maintenance and mass production. The maximum speed of this model is 55km/h.
Front armor 14.5mm, side 8mm, chassis 6mm (SdKfz 251/AC type) can only protect small-caliber firearms and bomb fragments. The open design is used in all series of models to facilitate infantry shooting in the vehicle and rapid departure from the vehicle. However, due to the open-top design, the grenades, mortar shells, or shots from high places that were thrown by the enemy were weak. However, in that era, because there was no air-conditioner inside the vehicle, the design of each country was similar, not the unique disadvantage of Germany.
Armed [ edit ]
The standard transport version of the Sdkfz 251 is equipped with a MG34 or MG42 machine gun mounted on the front or rear of the cabin or driver, while the second machine gun can be installed on the rear of the ambulance
Use [ edit ]
The car was shaped and put into trial production in 1938. It was used to replace other armored personnel carriers. It was mass-produced in 1939. It was produced until its defeat in 1945. It produced a total of 16,000 vehicles and participated in almost all the major battles in the middle and late World War II. And on the basis of the basic model produced a variety of uses such as command vehicles, jet trains, anti-tank artillery vehicles, communications vehicles, mortar vehicles, rocket launchers, infrared night-equipment vehicles, and other improvements. Starting from the D-type, in order to increase production output and increase protection at the same time, a simplification of the appearance was adopted, and a side debris box was added. Unnecessary openings in the outer armor were removed, and the rear armor was changed to a reversed tilt design.
The semi-crawler structure of the SdKfz 251 armored vehicle makes maintenance and maintenance more complicated, and it also greatly increases the non-battle loss. The road passing rate is less than that of wheeled vehicles, muddy terrain and other complex terrains, but it is not as good as a tank, but it conforms to the German military industry's versatility. The request. Its front wheels have no power and no braking function, and are only responsible for steering guidance. The steering also relied heavily on the "rotational speed difference" of the track. In the same period, the front wheel of the American M3A4 half tracked vehicle had power and brakes, and its power was 40% larger than that of the SdKfz 251. Therefore, the SdKfz 251 was unable to meet tactical requirements in the late war, especially in the eastern battlefield.
In general, the SdKfz 251 half tracked vehicle is an important support for the German armored tactics during World War II. It is the core of the panzergrenadier division's equipment, and has successfully completed tactical tasks such as investigation, fire support, and personnel transportation during the war.
