About the Sd.Kfz. 251/16 Ausf. D Flammpanzerwagen
The German Sd.Kfz. 251 proved to be a very versatile platform for a myriad of types of vehicles. One of these was the Sd.Kfz. 251/16, a flamethrower half-track intended for the close-support role. This vehicle carried two 14mm flamethrower projectors mounted either sides of the hull. The rear compartment also housed the 700-liter fuel tanks along the side walls, enough to permit around 80 two-second bursts with the Flammenwerfer. Interestingly, the range of these flame projectors was around 35m, depending on the direction of the prevailing wind.
