The Sd.Kfz. 251 family of light armored half track vehicles was the most-produced type of German half-track of the war, with manufacturers Hanomag, Adlerwerke, Horch, Škoda, and Borgward producing about 15,252 units. Initially designed to transport Panzergrenadier mechanized infantry into battle, there were many other variants armed with rocket launchers, flamethrowers, anti-aircraft guns, or cannons; designed for engineering or ambulance units; equipped to carry bridgelaying equipment; and others. They featured thin--but sloped--armor, open tops, and a single access door in the rear. First introduced in 1939, they saw service in every theater of operations throughout the war. The 251/1 variant was the basic infantry transport version. A crew of two operated the vehicle, and it could also carry up to ten additional passengers. It was armed with a pintle-mounted 7.92 mm MG 34 machine gun. It could attain a top speed of 32 mph. This unit represents the base ToI unit.
