Among the many variants of the ubiquitous SD. Kft 251 half-track, the flammpanzerwagen version was arguably the most Lethal. Armed with two pintl-mounted, shielded flamethrowers, this half-track is not what Allied troops wanted to see heading their way. The SD. Kft 251/16 is also equipped with a portable flamethrower, tethered by a hose to the vehicle, allowing dismounted troops to have a degree of mobility outside the half-track. These half-tracks also carried the usual shield-mounted MG42 machine guns for point defense and anti-aircraft capability. To protect themselves from the Liquid Fire their weapons discharged, the crews would don full Hoods, heavy scarves, gauntlets and goggles. As many as six of these flame throwing half-track were assigned to each panzer grenadier Regiment.
