LSSAH SdKfz 251's

Response to Question about SdKfz 251's
Hi there,

The LAH had a handfull of SdKfz 251 Ausf B (and one Ausf A if I recall correctly) attached to them via the SS-VT Artillery Regiment in the operations in the West 1940. They later stayed with the unit to become the basis of the LAH Artillery Regiment, although the 251's were eventually replaced by SdKfz 7's, and 11's. The vehicles did stay with the Regiment as command vehicles, but were probably lost in Russia by early 1942.

The first employment of LAH Panzer Grenadiers with 251's (Ausf C) was in Kharkov, 1943, as they were only equipped with them during the refit in France, summer 1942.

Cheers
Steve
