SdKfz 251/2D (8cm)

SdKfz 251/2D Mortar Carrier
(GE251)


The Sd Kfz 251 Mittlere Schützenpanzerwagen (medium Armoured Personnel Carrier) was used as the basis for a number of specialist support vehicles required to equip the Panzergrenadiers. The first variant, the Sd Kfz 251/2C, was designed and trialled in 1941 and entered service at the beginning of 1942. The main modifications carried out were to add a reinforced base plate in the rear of the half-track to allow the 8cm schwere Granatwerfer 34 (mortar) to be fired from the vehicle and the removal of one troop seat to allow for ammunition storage. The forward MG mount was removed because the mortar fired to the front of the vehicle. A normal base plate for the mortar was carried inside the vehicle so that the weapon could be dismounted to fire if necessary.
