I photographed these SdKfz 251 Halftrack examples at Normandy France, the IWM Duxford and the NMMV in Dubois WY.
The SdKfz 251 Halftrack is a large medium personnel carrier, while the SdKfz 250 Halftrack is a smaller, lighter scout and command vehicle

The following examples at Dubois and the IWM are actually post-WWII Czech-built OT-810 (made by Praga and Tatra) with about 1,500 vehicles built during years 1958-62. This version had an air-cooled diesel engine and an armored roof over the troop compartment. The vehicle was not liked by those who used it and was nicknamed “Hitler’s revenge”. The last vehicles were removed from Czech Army magazines in 1995.
