List of Sd.Kfz. designations - Tank

armor.wikisort.org - Tank

Sonderkraftfahrzeug (abbreviated Sd.Kfz.,[1] German for "special purpose vehicle") was the ordnance inventory designation used by Nazi Germany during World War II for military vehicles; for example Sd.Kfz. 101 for the Panzer I.

Sd.Kfz. numbers were assigned to armored, tracked, and half-tracked vehicles in military service with Nazi Germany prior to and during World War II.

Sd.Kfz. numbering system

There were no strict rules regarding number series. For example, the Pz. Kpfw. II Ausf. L was designed and named as a reconnaissance vehicle, yet was placed in the 100-series rather than the 200-series. Overall, the vehicles were placed in these categories:

Sd.Kfz. 1 to 99: Unarmoured half-tracked vehicles
Sd.Kfz. 100 to 199: Tanks and tank variants, such as tank destroyers and self-propelled artillery
Sd.Kfz. 200 to 299: Reconnaissance vehicles, armoured cars, armored personnel carriers, and command tanks
Sd.Kfz. 300 and above: Mine-clearing and demolition charge laying vehicles
