I got to get me one of these. Flawed as it is, the Schwimmvagen is an awesome car-thing. Most people today would find it to be one of the most bizarre things on the road.
Id love to have a schwimmwagon, i can just imagine driving through my town past the boy racers parked in the car park, who wouldnt have a clue what it is.
ah yes it is amazing that a total of 15,584 Type 166 Schwimmwagen cars were produced; 14,276 at Fallersleben and 1,308 by Porsche. Only 133 are known to remain today, and only 13 have survived without restoration work.
Yes, but Nazi Germany gave us so many cool little toys like the Schwimmwagen to play with after they were crushed utterly for their evil, so it balances out in the end.
Well said.. I mean,he also gave us lots of stuff to research.. let alone technology to bum off of him.. All in all,We learned alot from his war machine. :3
Absolutely COOL! Thank you for posting this. Those crafty Germans! Ach Mensch! Why can't they make those today? Closest I saw was the three happy dudes from TOP GEAR.
Thanks again, this was fun to watch! Domo arigato!
Schwimmwagen! A good decision!

Very cool, though I do wonder how many people who own these have had to swim to shore at some point or another :D

Not him, he was quite ignorant, but the German scientist were quite brillient.
You know the scientists made a jet pack?
Hitler wanted his army to be armed with the Kar98k, his military secretly armed the army with Stg-44s...
