Kfz. 251), was the base vehicle of the series without special equipment. After troop trials, it was officially introduced with the A.H.M. 1939, Blatt 24 from 7th December 1939, No. 884. The vehicles were delivered to the troop after the special equipment was installed. Beginning in 1942, the base vehicle was designated mittlerer Schützenpanzerwagen - medium riflemans armoured vehicle - (Sd. Kfz. 251).
