About the Vehicle:

The SdKfz 251/16 was a specialized flamethrower version of Germany’s standard armored personnel carrier. Equipped with forward-mounted flamethrowers and fuel storage systems, these vehicles were used to attack fortified positions, trenches, and defended urban areas. While relatively rare compared to standard troop carriers, the 251/16 became a feared support vehicle capable of delivering devastating short-range firepower.

Both Ausf C and Ausf D versions saw service during mid- and late-war operations.
