SD2:Sd.Kfz. 250/9

 is a German Recon unit in Steel Division II.

Background
Leichter Gepanzerte Kraftswagen (Light Armored Truck) was developed by combining a Sd.Kfz. 10 chassis modified by Demag with an armored body produced by Bussing-NAG. The goal was to provide armored divisions with a multipurpose armored halftrack, capable of keeping pace with them and affording its occupants a degree of protection. The design was finalized in 1941, after two years of work, and the vehicle entered production. Over 4000 were produced before a modified version (designated as Neu, New) was introduced in 1943, with a simplified armored body and slightly reduced weight. 2000 were produced.

A modification designed between March and July 1942 by Gustav Appel, as a replacement for the unsatisfactory SPW 222. By combining its turret, mounting a 2 cm KwK 38 L/55, with the all-terrain chassis of the 250 with a Hangelafette 38 mount, the company created an all-terrain recon unit that could also provide fire support and engage light vehicles. About 1000 vehicles were produced until the end of the war.
