The Sd.Kfz. 250/3 Ausf. A was a light, half tracked armoured command and radio vehicle (German designation: leichter Funkpanzerwagen) employed by the German Army during World War II.

It was based on the Sd.Kfz. 250 Ausführung A chassis, which featured complex, multi angled armour plates and was produced mainly from 1941 to 1943.

Its primary role was command and communications, serving as a mobile headquarters vehicle for unit commanders. The vehicle was equipped with long range radio sets, typically FuG 7 and FuG 5, and was recognisable by its prominent frame or star antenna mounted around the upper hull.

The Sd.Kfz. 250/3 carried a crew of four to five men, including commander, driver, and radio operators. Armament was usually limited to one or two 7.92 mm MG 34 or MG 42 machine guns for self defence.

With a weight of approximately 5.7 tons, it was powered by a Maybach HL42 TRKM six cylinder petrol engine producing about 100 hp, giving it a top road speed of roughly 60 km/h and good cross country mobility.

The vehicle became well known because Erwin Rommel frequently used a Sd.Kfz. 250/3 as his personal command vehicle in North Africa, nicknamed Greif, although similar vehicles were used across many fronts.
