Bolt Action - Sd.Kfz 251/2 Ausf D (8cm Granatwerfer) Half-track

During the early phases of World War II, the German army began equipping its Panzergrenadiers with armored half-tracks to support their armored vehicles in combat. They developed the excellent Sd.Kfz 251 series, manufactured by Hanomag, producing these in thousands, with over twenty versions in service on most theaters of war. One of the most useful variants was the 8cm Granatwerfer – a version of the Hanomag that carried the standardized infantry mortar.

This model represents the 251/2 Ausf D version of the vehicle used from 1943 onwards. This variant had a simplified armored shape compared to the earlier Ausf C, which was particularly evident on the sloped rear armor. It had a forward-facing 81mm mortar in the rear section, which was tactically optimal for engaging and quickly changing position.
