Notes: The SdKfz 251 halftrack was underpowered and difficult to steer, but it formed the backbone of the German mechanized infantry and armor support. It was adapted to a wide variety of roles over the course of the war. The 251/17 Schutzenpanzerwagen acted as a carriage for a 20mm FlaK gun. It carried 8 passengers.

Stats: 2 crew; Main Ammo: 600 rounds
