In this new video series, we want to show you and introduce you to several originals in detail, one after the other, because there is nothing better than references for model builders.
Today we show you interior and exterior views of the Sd.Kfz. 251/7 Ausf.D
The introduction of the half-track began in 1938, the Sd Kfz. 251 is basically based on the chassis of the Sd. vehicle 11, the light towing vehicle 3 t and was originally manufactured in Bremen by Borgward (Hansa-Lloyd).
Our version, the D variant, was first produced in 1943. It forms the final version and, with 10,600 vehicles built, is by far the most frequently built variant of the armored personnel carrier.
The half-track shown here comes from Fort Knox, Patton Museum and was given to the German Tank Museum in 1991! The vehicle was built in 1944 by the Eisenwerk Weserhütte company.
We are delighted that the Munster Tank Museum made this shoot possible for us.
If you would like to see this vehicle (and of course many others) in the original (because no video or photo can replace a personal impression), you should plan a visit to Munster:
