Product Information
Mentre le prove sul fronte polacco decretavano il successo della Volkswagen 82, di cui quindi commissionata la produzione in serie, la mente inventiva dell’Ing. Porsche aveva elaborato una versione anfibia della Kübelwagen. Se, infatti, la notevole leggerezza della vettura le permetteva di non impantanarsi e due uomini erano sufficienti a raddrizzarla era altresi vero che, durante le missioni di collegamento e ricognizione, spesso si trovava di fronte a corsi d’acqua, il cui superamento era pressochè impossibile.
As the Volkswagen «82» (Kübelwagen) proved very successful during the campaign in Poland, it was necessary to produce everincreasing numbers of this vehicle. Later, Ferdinand Porsche developed an amphibian version of this car, called the «Schwimmwagen». The light weight of this vehicle (about 1/2 ton) permitted crossing of muddy areas, since only two men were sufficient to keep this vehicle moving. For reconnaissance and liaison missions, water had to be crossed frequently, which was impossible with other vehicles.
