In 1943, during a German retreat in the USSR during the rasputitsa season, Adam Pfaff remarked to Corporal Arno Baatz that he wouldn't mind being with the Panzergrenadiers and riding in a SdKfz 251. Baatz, who was equally tired of slogging through the thick mud, agreed that he had heard ideas he liked less. About 10 minutes later, they tramped past a SdKfz 251 buried in mud to its front axle, with the crew and passengers trying to get it out. Pfaff announced he had changed his mind, that he was happy to not be a Panzergrenadier.

  • Although Germany produced many similar halftracks, the only one encountered in Brothers in Arms is the SdKfz 251. The player never gets to 'use' the SdKfz 251 like they can the M4 sherman tank or the M5 stuart tank, but the player does encounter situations in the singleplayer where the enemy utilizes the SdKfz 251 as a moble machinegun platform, the gunner is difficult to kill due to the firepower of the MG 42 and the good protection offered by the halftrack.
