Historical Description

The Sd.Kfz. 251/1 Ausf. C was one of the most recognizable armored personnel carriers used by the German army during World War II (1939–1945). This vehicle was a mainstay for German Panzergrenadiers, enabling the rapid relocation of troops under the protection of armor. The variant equipped with a Nebelwerfer 40 rocket launcher was used, among other places, on both the eastern and western fronts, supporting infantry units by bombarding enemy positions and vehicles.
