Serial production of the mittlerer Krankenpanzerwagen (Sd. Kfz. 251/8) – an armoured ambulance – started on the C model. Many older vehicles of the A and B models were retrofitted to m. Kr. Pz. Wg. It was unarmed and mostly marked with conspicuous Red Cross markings. In the interior there was a bench for slightly wounded and mountings for stretchers. The illustrated vehicle is a Krankenpanzerwagen based on the D model. (Photo: German federal archive via Wikimedia Commons; License: Creative Commons BY-SA-3.0-gb)
