@x1pyroveride it's obvious ofcourse: the light will be let through the little slit only being seen ony by people on the gound and can't be seen from the skies--> attracting hails of .50 cal and rockets from allied fighters.
bei ebay hab ichs wochenlang versucht und geschaut obs was gibt, aber erfolglos höstens die Bundeswehr oder Trabi Kübel...... kannste mir ne Seite empfehlen und wie bisten an deinen rangekommen?
The Kübelwagen is undoubtedly better than the Willy's Jeep, but not by a whole lot. The Kübelwagen was just a much more smartly concieved piece of kit.
As for the ultimate offroad car of WW2, the Type 166 Schwimmwagen takes that prize :)
Honorable mentions go to the 4x4 Horch 108 Type 40 and 4x4 Steyr 1500A though.
@bellator11 only thing I'd have to say the Willy's might be better in, is getting in and out. Hopping in and out of the kubel is a little sketchier in full kit.
Well,I watched both Videos,the one with the kübelwagen and the one with the Jeep Willy....and I can say that the VW did much easier than the Jeep Willy.....
I am building one of these and idd, they are so basic but so GOOD. They will get you anywhere, trough anything. And to reply, there was a 4wd kubelwagen, just like the 166 swim, but i've never seen one before.
"Only 2WD, but as agile as a mountain goat, air-cooled, so it'll start in heat and cold, most reliable, so the Landser's told, still the best, although so old!"
(Sorry for the bad poetry, but sometimes I get carried away...);-)
I'm saving up money to own a Kubelwagen some day and I'm trying to do as much research on it as possible. I take it it doesn't have a muffler because that sounds pretty loud haha. God what an amazing car...

ok can someone tell me the main reason for german cars to have just the little slits in the lights?? was it cuz of the reflection or something?

@x1pyroveride those were black-out lights. Used by the Allies too.

The Willys was better than the Kubelwagen, 4 wheel vs 2, better clearance, easier maintenance. The Germans loved their captured Jeeps.

Kubelwagen doesn't have 4 wheel drive like willy's but the kubelwagen is cheaper and faster to produce and is a little faster, and also lighter.
