2 cm MG 151/20 Fla SL 151 (Drilling) auf Sd.Kfz. 250 Ausf. B

History:
I do not know the detailed history of this vehicle yet. Probably an insurgent or some ad hoc modification of the German army. (see Panzerwrecks publications and retreating dismantled Demags).
Photographs of a similarly modified machine would speak for the insurgent modification Maultier from Prague 1945.

Whether this Sd.250 was modified in this way is not known.

The machine is captured in a photograph from Josefov (near Jaroměř, Náchod district) in 1945 (I do not have the opportunity to publish it).

The armament of the vehicle consists of 2 cm MG 151/20 Flakdrilling, however, the carriage carries only two barrels !!! The middle one is missing.

Field modification of the classic half-track armored personnel carrier Sd.Kfz. 250 version Ausf. B. Anti-aircraft set 2 cm MG 151/20 Fla SL 151 (Drilling) was placed in the combat area. Whether this was a purely anti-aircraft modification is questionable. Probably the vehicle served as a classic support vehicle against ground targets with the possibility of fighting aircraft.
The vehicle was captured in a photograph in České Mnichovice (SE of Prague) at the end of World War II (5/1945). It belonged to one of the retreating units.
