The secret manual D97/1 + prepared on 26.10.1943 by the contractor Mr. Schröder mentions mittlerer Schützenpanzerwagen (2 cm) (Sd.Kfz.251/17 ) Ausf.AH ("H" - Hängelafette) a mittlerer Schützenpanzerwagen (2 cm) (Sd.Kfz.251/17 ) Ausf.BS (Schwebelafette). It was a pair of design proposals with mounted automatic 2 cm Kw.K.38. The 2 cm Hängelafette 38 was developed as a replacement for the 2 cm Sockellafette 38 (used eg in Sd.Kfz.222, or Sd. Kfz.250/9), Hängelafette had a simplified construction. Mittlerer Schützenpanzerwagen (2 cm) (Sd.Kfz.251/17) Ausf.AH ("H" - Hängelafette) sa do production did not receive. However, the version mittlerer Schützenpanzerwagen (2 cm) (Sd.Kfz.251/17) Ausf.B S (Schwebelafette) was mass-produced.
In essence, it was a replacement Sd.Kfz.251/10, when platoon commanders needed a more powerful and versatile weapon than the obsolete 3.7 cm cannon. This created an interesting vehicle designed to support mechanized units, which also managed anti-aircraft defense.
The 2 cm Schwebelafette was designed by Büssing NAG. It was an extremely simple device designed to mount 2 cm cannons Kw.K. 38 or Flak 38. The balance of the weapon was ensured by the weight of the shooter himself. The shooter provided the aim and measure with his own force. For shooting against ground targets, the shooter had a sight Flak-Zielfernhorh ZF 3x8 ° (3x zoom with 8 ° field of view), for shooting on aircraft had a circular sight Schwebekreisvisier 38. Schwebelafette 38 had a length of about 1425 mm, width 1075 mm and a height of 1520 mm. The firing height was 2040 mm. The weapon set had a fully circular measurement, the elevation ranged from -10 ° to + 60 °. The magazines on the weapon were replaced by a charger that sat on a seat under and in front of the weapon. On the opposite side sat a shooter, protected by an armored shield made of 10 mm steel. Later, the shape of this shield was changed (the left side was given a protrusion to increase the space for the shooter's head). The weapon was charged with a standard magazine for 2 cm Kw.K. with 10 rounds, but it was probably possible to use magazines with 20 rounds designed for 2 cm Flak. The ammunition stock consisted of a total of 600 rounds. By default, the vehicle did not have a defensive machine gun, it had to defend MP 40 with a supply of 1024 rounds. However, in the photos you can see the rear holder of the machine gun for some machines, so it can be assumed that the crews equipped their machines with machine guns. According to the list of equipment from 15.11.1944, the crew had a pair of observation periscopes to observe the terrain around the vehicle.
The planned production was to reach 822 vehicles in the Weserhütte factory and 390 vehicles in the Schichau factory in the period from 11/1944 to 12/1945.
The first delivery was to be a series of 12 vehicles, which were to be delivered in 6/1944. It is not known whether this order was fulfilled, but in the first report, where there are data on the production of this type, as of September 1, 1944, the number of 54 vehicles is stated. The following reports speak of the production of 50 vehicles in 11/1944, 17 vehicles in 12/1944, 53 vehicles in 1/1945 and 37 vehicles in 2/1945. In 1/1945 it was occupied by the Soviet army Elbing and therefore production at Schichau was terminated. The reorganization of production was supposed to increase production at Weserhütte (60 units in 2/1944), but Wa J Rü reports indicate the delivery of only 37 vehicles in 2/1945. Data on further production are not available.
The first mention of the organization of these vehicles was found in K.St.N. dated 1.11.1943 and intended for Panzer-Grenadier units. Sd.Kfz.251/17 Ausf.B replaced version Sd.Kfz.251/10.
According to K.St.N.1104a (gp.), The "Stab u. Stabskp. Panzer-Grenadier-Batalion (gp.)" Was to have four Sd.Kfz.251/17 vehicles.
According to K.St.N.1114c, the "Panzer-Grenadier-Company c" was to have seven Sd.Kfz.251/17 vehicles.
According to K.St.N.1145c (gp.), The "schwere Panzerjäger-Zug" was to have four Sd.Kfz.251/17 vehicles.However, the three vehicles were also to serve as tractors for anti-tank cannons 7.5 cm PaK 40.
According to K.St.N.714 of 1.11.1943 and 1.6.1944, "Pionier-Kompanie (gp.)" Was to have four vehicles Sd.kfz.251/17.
According to K.St.N.1118B from 1.4.1944 and 1.11.1944, "Panzergrenadier-Pionier-Kompanie" was to have one vehicle Sd.Kfz.251/17.
According to K.St.N.727B from 1.6.1944 should have "Panzer-Pionier-Company (G)" pair Sd.Kfz.251/17.
