Product Description

- A powerful vehicle equipped with a rocket launcher

[About the actual car]
- One of the half-tracks deployed and used by the German army during WWII was the Sd.Kfz.251.
- The Sd.Kfz.251 is an armored personnel carrier developed based on a 3t half-track, and in addition to the basic armored personnel carrier type, many derivative types have been produced.
- One of these vehicles is equipped with a rocket launcher on the side of the vehicle.
- The Wulffram 40, a rocket launcher capable of firing 28cm grenades and 32cm incendiary rocket shells, was developed in the late 1940s.
- The rockets have a maximum range of 1,900m for the 28cm grenade and 2,200m for the 32cm incendiary grenade, and are mounted in a box-type launcher.
- The Sd.Kfz.251 had the same interior as the previous model, but was fitted with pipe frames on both sides of the vehicle, allowing it to carry six launchers.
- They were mainly deployed to armored engineer companies, where they proved their worth.
