Few war films made about the 1939-45 period are complete without sight of a boxy little Kubelwagen light utility vehicle being smartly driven by a German officer Designed by Ferdinand Porsche & built by Volkswagen the ' Kubel' was to the Germans what the Jeep was to the Allies & was used widely by the Wehrmacht & the Waffen-SS When production ceased at the end of the war 50435 Kubelwagen had been built Of simple but sturdy construction the VW Type 82 Kubelwagen (which translates as 'bucket car' because of its similarity to a metal bathtub on wheels) was based closely on the legendary VW Beetle Its winning design features included air cooled engine (the absence of a radiator meant the engine was less vulnerable to bullet damage) a light-weight flat & smooth under-body that allowed the car to slide over the surface when its wheels were sinking into sand mud or snow independent suspension portal gear hub reduction & self-locking differential Because the body was not a load-bearing part of the structure of the vehicle it could easily be modified to special purposes Several dozen variants of the ' Kubel' were developed & built during the war including its cousin the Schwimmwagen The VW Type 128 & 166 Schwimmwagen (which means floating or swimming car) were amphibious four-wheel drive off-roaders Like the Kubel they were used widely by the Wehrmacht & the Waffen-SS during the Second World War The Type 166 Schwimm is the most numerous mass-produced amphibious car in history (14265 between 1942 & 1944) Erwin Komenda Ferdinand Porsche's first car body designer developed an all-new unitised body-tub structure for the Schwimmwagen swimming car When crossing water a screw propeller could be lowered from the rear deck engine cover & coupled to the engine's crankshaft to provide drive The ' Schwimm' also shared many of the Kubel's mechanicals The appeal of the Kubel lived on long after the war's end when a derivative version the Volkswagen Type 181 was manufactured by VW from 1968 to 1983 This was a two-wheel drive four-door convertible off-road military vehicle which had been developed for the German Army but was also sold to the civilian market as the Kurierwagen in Germany the Trekker in the UK the Thing in the US & the Safari in Mexico In recent years both the Kubel & Schwimm have acquired something of a cult status among military vehicle collectors worldwide particularly in Europe (eg Germany Poland Czech Republic Switzerland) the UK & US There are literally dozens of Kubelwagen & Schwimmwagen enthusiastownerinterest groups! About 150 original Type 166 Schwimmwagens remain today Their rarity & availability contributes towards a vehicle's price tag of more than GBP110000 Original & replica Kubels can sell for upwards of GBP30000 each ...
