This variant of the Schutzenpanzerwagen SdKfz 250/1 had the turret of the SdKfz 222 (with a 20mm L/55
gun) mounted on an armor plate over the passenger compartment. Needless to say, this variant did not carry
any infantrymen. It was primarily used for reconnaissance by the Panzergrenadier units to whom it was issued.
Options: None.

This variant of the Schutzenpanzerwagen SdKfz 250/1 did not carry an infantry half-squad. Instead, it
mounted a 37mm L/45 antitank gun in a fixed position firing over the front of the vehicle. This vehicle was
normally issued to platoon leaders as an integral light antitank section for the platoon.
Options: None.
