The Schutzenpanzerwagen SdKfz 251/1 was the basis for all of the specialized SdKfz 251-series vehicles, as well
as the first armored halftrack to be issued to special-purpose infantry units. Its main purpose was to carry an
infantry squad into combat, although there were many variants with additional capabilities. 15,252 of all
Ausfuhrung (A, B, C, and D) were produced from mid-1939 to early 1945, including all of the SPW 251
variants. Other versions of this vehicle which were also used included munitions carriers, searchlight vehicles,
command posts, night-fighting vehicles, rocket launchers, and observation vehicles.
