"Panzer Tracts No. 15-2 - mittlere Schuetzenpanzerwagen (Sd.Kfz.251)

History of Variants, Production, Organization, Issue, Tactics, and Employment in Action from 1939 to 1942 - A trip was made to the end of the earth (well, South Africa anyway) to accurately mea-sure the surviving Ausf.B and numerous trips (a bit closer to home) were made to thoroughly measure a surviving Ausf.C with a riveted armor body in order to create detailed as-built drawings. This in depth research also allowed the creation of accurate drawings of the related Ausf.A and the often misidentified mittlere ungepanzerte Mannschaftstransportwagen (Sd.Kfz.251). This book is also loaded with new information on the history, production, unit organization, issue, tactics, and wartime reports from front-line units. In accordance with our high standards, the text and data are based solely on primary sources. 24 drawings and 56 rare photos illustrate this 52 page book.
