Sd.Kfz.251 is the basic semi-tracked armored transporter of the German army during World War II. Its production lasted from 1939 to 1945. Other combat vehicles were also built on its basis. It was produced in four production models, from A to D, and 23 basic and many field versions, of which the standard and largest was the armoured transporter Sd.Kfz.251/1. The sd.kfz.251 transporter project was based on the modified chassis of Sd.Kfz.11. The armoured hull was produced from welded armoured plates and consisted of two large parts connected by screws. Part of the front ended up being a driver. It protected the driver, commander and engine. The combat compartment opened from above was to accommodate 10 soldiers. The rear had opened doors allowed access to the interior. Sd.Kfz.251/9 Ausf.C Stummel was created as a result of the growing demand for a fire-fighting infantry vehicle. This version is equipped with 7.5 cm StuK 37 L/24 75 mm short-barrel cannons from the dismantling of panzer IV long-barrelled cannons.
