Vehicle information – Sd.Kfz 251/1 Ausf.A

The Sd.Kfz 251/1 Ausf.A was the first version of the most important German armored personnel carrier used during World War II by the Wehrmacht. This is a half-track vehicle designed to protect and transport Panzergrenadiers. It was used from 1939, initially during the Polish campaign, and later on all European fronts – including the Eastern Front, the Western Front, and in Africa. Over time, the vehicle evolved, but the Ausf.A version is regarded as the beginning of the Sd.Kfz 251 family.
