VW Kübelwagen / Schwimmwagen Manual - Insights into the design, construction and operation (Haynes Military Manual)

Designed by Ferdinand Porsche and built by Volkswagen, the VW Type 82 Kübelwagen and its amphibious cousin the VW Type 128/166 Schwimmwagen were to the Germans what the Jeep was to the Allies and were used widely by the Wehrmacht and the Waffen-SS in the Second World War. In recent years the Kübel and Schwimm have acquired something of a cult status among military vehicle collectors worldwide.

Author Chris McNab examines the design, construction and use of these classic German utility vehicles, as well as reviewing today's fertile market for restorations and replicas.

Kübelwagen / Schwimmwagen - L'histoire, la conception, la mécanique et l'engagement operationnel

Designed by Ferdinand Porsche and produced by Volkswagen, the Type 82 Kübelwagen and its amphibious cousin the Type 128/166 Schwimmwagen were to the Germans what the Jeep was to the Allies. They were widely used by the Wehrmacht and the Waffen-SS during the Second World War.
These two robust utility vehicles resolutely fulfilled their role, both in the bitter winter cold of the Eastern Front and in the torrid heat of the Libyan Desert.
Reliability and sobriety are the marks of their success, and their legendary reputation will endure in the post-war period. In the 21st century, the surviving vehicles have become cult objects among collectors around the world.

The author analyzes the development of these classic utility vehicles of the German army and discusses in detail their design and characteristics, including engine and transmission. He describes their combat experience, giving their road holding characteristics and routine maintenance.
With more than 250 historical images, technical drawings and detailed photographs of restored vehicles, it allows a unique dive into the interior of these iconic vehicles.
