The Sonderkraftfahrzeug 202/3 schwer Schützenpanzerläufer VI-G Stummel (Special Purpose Vehicle 203/3, Heavy Infantry Fighting Vehicle VI-G Stummel) is the latest evolution in Axis troop transport. Replacing the famed Sd.Kfz. 251/9 half-track, with which it shared the nickname ‘Stummel’ (Stump) for its short gun, this new vehicle takes it all to the next level by adding walker technology and the capability to carry a full section of infantry as well as a powerful gun. It can carry six soldiers inside its passenger compartment and another six between the hull and the Schürzen armored skirts.
The value of mechanized infantry has been proven numerous times since the war started. It is even more valuable in the desert environment in which the Neue Deutsches Afrikakorps fights - no one wants to cross a desert on foot!
