This Volkswagen-produced light utility vehicle served the German military in the same capacity as the Jeep and GAZ-67 did for the Americans and Soviets (respectively). The Kübelwagen (“bucket wagon”) was an inexpensive, light-weight transport vehicle that could be operated reliably both on- and off-road, in even the most extreme conditions. Despite lacking four wheel drive, the vehicle proved very competent at maneuvering its way over rough terrain, and it could attain a top speed of 50 mph. The type was among a related family of Volkswagen vehicles which saw service during World Warr II that included the Type 166 Schwimmwagen and Type 60 KdF-Wagen staff car (precursor to the post-war 'Beetle'). Volkswagen built 50,435 units between 1940–1945, and they served in every theater of operations.
