Cultural Impact?

This whole section seems a bit weak to me. Is it needed? --Jolyonralph 20:58, 7 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

You're right, and no it doesn't and now isn't.GraemeLeggett 16:09, 8 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Bibliography?

The article seems good, although IMHO it lacks "written" references. Will tag accordingly, and try to add some myself. Regards, DPdH (talk) 08:25, 18 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've just added two useful little books from "Osprey" and "Squadron/Signal", but as I'd like to see more (and better) references will leave the tag for a while. Regards, DPdH (talk) 08:56, 18 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Name changes

The article doesn't seem to mention the 'mittlere' (medium) prefix except for the /22 and /23. The correct name, according to D 97/1+ (Gerätliste vom 1. 7. 43 from 1943-07-01) would include 'mittlere' for all the variants (e.g. mittlerer Schützenpanzerwagen (Sd Kfz 251/1) - and yes, there shouldn't be any periods in the abbreviation either). Unless there is a better reference for the current names, I'll change them. Christian Ankerstjerne (talk) 12:05, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ausf D

From early 1943, the Ausf D variant was developed with a purpose of reducing the number of angled body plates down to 50%, simplifying the design and thus speeding up the production. - is there a contemporary German source for this? If they reduced the number of angled plates by 50%, why did the weight go up 200kgs? Koakhtzvigad (talk) 13:04, 30 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Weren't these used post-War by Czechoslovakia and Israel?

I think the Czechoslovakians used their own version called the OT-810. It was more or less the same as the Sd.Kfz. 251 but had a larger engine and some modifications to the body. --Kriegaffe (talk) 19:10, 11 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hanomag

I've never once heard them called this in the context of the Allies. Does anyone else have more corroborating evidence? comment added by --Kriegaffe (talk) 19:09, 11 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
