And those figures do not account for all the other armored fighting vehicles the Germans made. Since they were not subject to the restrictions of the Versailles Treaty, Germany developed more armored half-tracks and armored wheeled vehicles than any other nation.
Just the Sd.Kfz. 250/251 adds another 20,000+ to the German AFV tally. They weighed the same as light tanks, were armored like light tanks and were armed like light tanks. In some cases they were armed like medium tanks/TDs.


Then there's the Maultier, 22,500 produced. (Most were armed with machine guns or light cannon, not rockets.)
Then there are the numerous 4, 6 and 8 wheeled Panzerspahwagen. Also armored and armed like light tanks, in some cases like medium tanks. The "Puma" (last picture) was also armored like a medium tank with an armor thickness of 30-100 mm. These vehicles add more tens of thousands to the tally.







In the German army these vehicles did everything the Allies used light tanks/tracked vehicles for. Like reconnaissance, communications, command/staff etc. infantry support and even artillery/TD.
Despite their dogma and propaganda the Germans weren't supermen. There's a reason it took the world five years to defeat them. Germans are nothing if not productive.
