Sd. Kfz 251 Pakwagen

0:0:0

The '''Sd. Kfz 251 Pakwagen''' were Sd. Kfz.251 Halftracks fitted with a high velocity PaK 40 L46 or L48. These were heavily used as the operations turned into defensive actions. The range of the gun allowed the vehicle to be relatively safe from well camouflaged, pre-arranged positions. The mount comprised two H shaped beams welded to the floor, on the middle of the rear compartment. The shield was modified with trimmed angles, and the platform was made of flat triangular plates holding in place the original gun cradle. The driver sat on the left, aiming with the standard PaK 40 optics. Production figures are elusive, perhaps 1200 vehicles using Ausf.D bodies.
