It was manufactured by the German company Hanomag and used extensively to transport troops and materiel on various battlefronts during the conflict.
Here are some main features of the Sd.Kfz. 251/1 Ausf. C:
Configuration: The Sd.Kfz. 251 was a semi-tracked vehicle, meaning that it had front wheels for steering and rear tracks for traction. This configuration gave it good mobility over varied terrain and made it suitable for accompanying infantry troops even in difficult conditions.
