Sd Kfz 250/9

The Sd Kfz 250 was based on the Sd Kfz 10 built by Demag. The 250/9 was armed with a turret taken from the light Sd Kfz 222 Armoured Car, mounting a 2cm KwK 38 autocannon coaxial with an MG34 or MG42 light machine gun. Initially three were ordered in 1942 and their cross country performance assessed in Russia. As a result of these trials, production of the Sd Kfz 222 was halted in favour of the Sd Kfz 250/9 with mass production commencing in May 1943. The 250/9 remained in service until 1945.
