Name that Vehicle

Arlo · 24-11-2006, 04:19 AM

Well, this is my first thread in WW2 Talk and we're going to name a tank or armored vehicle.

What vehicle is this?

Clue: It is the most common German Half track of WW2.

(I couldn't get a good picture of this in combat!)

Sd Kfz

Gnomey · 24-11-2006, 11:07 AM

Sd Kfz 251 to be exact...

Aaaaaaaarrrrghhhhhhhh!
Someone started a name that vehicle thread...
Been resisting the temptation for ages...

... To be more exact

SdKfz 251/1 ausf. D, looks like trhe one in the Jaques Littlefield collection. (?)

Go on, tell us what the formation signs mean then.

3rd armoured infantry company, divisional sign not immediately familiar, got distracted by this amazing site on organisation while checking (Vehicle isn't Littlefields, it's in the Czech republic. )

Edit: should add that as it's in Czecko I thought it might be a converted OT810 but I don't think so.

VP, take big breathes, have a sit down and think calm thoughts - poor boy does get rather over-excited sometimes!

Checking out Divisonal Signs on Feldgrau.net

It's not a Pz Div.
Now going thru hundreds of Inf Div ones.
Anyone want to help?

Yep, that's why It's not familiar to me, not SS if the plates anything to go by either, couldn't be arsed to go through all the inf/pzgr divisions. Tried earlier and got very bored, have fun!

Did whole lot, no luck
Did discover that 183 Inf Div had a sign similar (as in a negative of) to 3rd Brit Div.

Also feel a new avatar coming on as many moose (elk) heads as Div Signs.
