VW Schwimmwagen Type 166 Amphibious Car - WWII German Army

The Volkswagen Schwimmwagen Type 166 was a four-wheel-drive amphibious car developed from the Kubelwagen. Its tub-shaped hull floated, and a fold-down propeller at the rear was driven straight off the engine for crossing rivers and lakes.

Around 15,000 were built, making it the most numerous mass-produced amphibious car in history. Schwimmwagens served on every front with reconnaissance and motorcycle units, prized for going where trucks and motorcycles could not.
