Schwimmwagen + Kübelwagen DISG Demmin 2007 - part 3

[22KaTsh]

@pablof29, LeonRFpoa IIRC they fit inside a Ju52, the standard transport plane

(much smaller than C-47/DC-3!)

[chrismido]

lmao the first one that went past is a replica look at its wheel base ! lmao. my dad has a 1943 schwimmwagen and a1941 kettenkrad

[Swoolable]

@chrismido The first one is an extremely rare Porsche type 128, this was redesigned to address some problems it had and the 166 was born.

wut? where buy this guys that ?

[Poopingbotham]

Are those Schwimmwagens new? I have a vague memory of them going back into production

[pablof59]

Maybe I missed some historical information, but what were the war uses and benefits of the Kettenkrad...?

[LeonRFpoa]

@pablof59 OH those were gun tractors. The advantage was that they could be delivered by smaller aircraft to the theater instead of being parachuted in. They could fit aboard gliders I think. Pretty crazy vehicle if you ask me, I would have shied away from that one. Give me a swim wagon any day.

[ThugCologne]

@pablof59 same like russian rifles ... no one knows xD

[redreaper2020]

@pablof59 other than being over 9000 times more badass than a harley? it's just a jeep that never can get bogged down.

[gtr1359]

what kind of performance do you get out of those?

[TheMesterius]

there is a fan on the back of one.....

[julescicle]

@gtr1359 think of it like this its an 1100 or 1000 cc vw engine in the schwim and the kubel so about 25 hp

[TruckerSF]

Das komisch daran bei dem Schwimmwagen ist, es ist von Porsche XD

[doliwsef]

Der blaue EU-Kotzbalken ist eine Verschandelung auf diesen schönen Fahrzeugen. Das waren definitiv die besten Fahrzeuge, die je gebaut wurden.

[suumcuique1918]

Toll, wenn die 166er nur nicht soooooo teuer waeren. Mein Traumauto

[theoutsiderisme]
