Design and Use
The Sd.Kfz. 250 was a lightly armored halftrack, similar in appearance to the larger Sd.Kfz. 251. It was used similarly as well, as a troop transport, but mainly for reconnaissance units. The basic variant usually mounted one or two MG34 machine guns. Like the Sd.Kfz. 251, the Sd.Kfz. 250 had many variants as well.
