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
