     The Sd.Ktz. 251 half-track stable was the centerpiece of the German       
Mechanized Corps, throughout the World War 2.  First production began in 1939, 
with the series classified into four types from Ausf.A to D, according to the  
production period.  The early models used a very complicated body construction,
made up of obliquely placed armor plates.  This was somewhat simplified in the 
C and D types, to make mass production easier.  The final, "D" production      
version appeared at the front in 1943, and it became the most widely used model
among the many variants.  More than 10,000 units of the D-type alone, were     
produced and entered service by the end of the conflict.
