Developed together with the Sd Kfz 253 the Munitionskraftwagen did not enter production until the former vehicles had been completed.The initial series consisted of 30 vehicles built between June and August 1940.When production ceased in September 1941 the vehicle was replaced by the Sd Kfz 250/6. The Sd Kfz 252 was distinguished by its fully enclosed armored body which was also sloped at a considerable angle to the rear to reduce weight.Pistol ports were provided under the side vision ports.Normally trailer Sonder Anhänger 3 1/1 was towed so as to increase the ammunition load.The Sd Kfz was issued to Sturmartillerie batteries. |
