ALL PRE-ORDERS MUST BE PLACED ON A SEPARATE ORDER
The Sd.Kfz.11 was designed in 1938 by Hanomag and was originally designed as the prime mover for the 105 mm (4.13 in) LeFH Howitzer and 37 mm (1.46 in) Flak 43, and 9000 units were built until 1945. This company was the natural choice to fulfill the next Waffenamt specification, which requested an armored vehicle capable of carrying a section of Panzergrenadiers and their equipment in order to keep up with the Panzer Divisions. Each German mechanized infantry corps was to be equipped with a hundred of these. The protection given had to be sufficient against small arms fire and artillery shrapnel, and armament should comprise two MG 34 machine guns, (later up-gunned to two MG42s) for defense and direct support. In German nomenclature, it was classed as a Mittlere Schützenpanzerwagen (“Medium Assault Armored Vehicle”).
