The
Sd.Kfz. 250 (
German:
Sonderkraftfahrzeug 250; 'special motor vehicle') was a light armoured
halftrack, very similar in appearance to the larger
Hanomag-designed
Sd.Kfz. 251, and built by the
DEMAG firm, for use by
Nazi Germany in
World War II. Most variants were open-topped and had a single access door in the rear.
The Sd. Kfz 250 was adopted in 1939 to supplement the standard halftrack. Production delays meant that the first vehicle did not appear until mid-1941
