Sd.Kfz.252

The Sd.Kfz. 252 was a German lightly armoured half-track ammunition carrier. Based on the Sd.Kfz. 250 half-track, it was built by Demag, Wegmann and Deutsche Werke between June 1940 and September 1941.

The Sd.Kfz. 252 shared its chassis and basic hull design with the Sd.Kfz. 250, but featured a fully enclosed armoured compartment. To increase the amount of ammunition carried, it frequently towed a small single-axle Sd.Ah. 32/1 ammunition trailer. During the early years of the Second World War, the vehicle was used primarily by assault gun units, where each StuG was supported by an ammunition carrier.

The vehicle weighed 5.7 tonnes and was powered by a 110 hp Maybach HL 42 TRKM six-cylinder petrol engine, giving it a top speed of 65 km/h. Its crew consisted of two men.

The model depicts an Sd.Kfz. 252 ammunition carrier assigned to the StuG "A" of the 3rd Battery, StuG.Abt. 185. The unit was operating in Estonia in late summer 1941.
