Hanomag 251 - Steed of the Panzergrenadiers

Good episode. Felt bad for your cameraperson. Ouch.

Sometimes I get the impression that the Wehrmacht designed their equipment to look cool not to actually win the war

Great video about an interesting machine. Remarks the Design is as German as it gets a specially the stirring and tracking system. The tracks were lubricated which made it vastly maintenance-intensive. The stirring was most effective of all half-tracks but also the most complicated one. Also don't forget the little bother SdKfz 250.

Wow, I had no idea of the range of use of the 251. It really was the swiss army knife of the German military. Great vid!
