Mittlerer Schützenpanzerwagen Sd.Kfz. 251 (HL KL 6p, Gerat 90) halftrack was an armored fighting vehicle designed and first built by the Hanomag company during World War II, and based on their earlier, unarmored Sd.Kfz. 11 vehicle. The SdKfz 251 Ausf A and B were superseded in 1940 by the SdKfz 251 Ausf C which was produced until late 1943.
