A light armored personnel carrier was developed by putting armor on the 1-ton half-track and the official name of this vehicle was Sd.kfz 250. The front armor was 14.5mm thick and the side armor was 8mm thick. It had one pair of track rollers less than the original vehicle as the first torsion bar shaft had been removed to reduce the vehicles weight. The Sd.Kfz 250 was remodeled into various vehicles. The most famous half-track of them all was the Sd.Kfz 250/3 Greif which was used by General Rommel in North Africa and was used in the battle of Tobruk in June 1942. The word "Greif", in English "Griffin" was painted on its sides to stand for the winged animal of Greek mythology.
