Ages 10 and up.
During the original planning for mechanized infantry formations, the equipment was to consist of the Stug as the Assault vehicle while the infantry were to be carried in semi-tracked vehicles. To standardize on this set up, it was decided to design ammunition carrier and observation vehicles for Assault Gun Formations on the chassis of one of the semi-tracked vehicles. This resulted in the Sd.Kfz.252 and 253 vehicles. Both vehicles had a fully enclosed fighting compartment with access through roof hatches and rear door.
