Title: PGLR 901 Sd Kfz 251
Post by: Greebo on July 03, 2023, 04:56:33 AM

Thanks to Lyric1 who found me the photos for this skin while searching for info on US half tracks.

This Sd Kfz 251 half track from Panzer Grenadier Lehr Regiment 901 was captured by advancing units of the US 3rd Army. Unusually it featured Mickey Mouse artwork on both sides of the hull. PGLR 901's regimental logo was painted on the engine air vents. The camo scheme appears to have been painted over a dark green base rather than dark yellow, something that dates the vehicle to 1945 when this colour change was mandated to those German factories still producing vehicles.
