KFZ.1 Kubelwagen: Volkswagen Type 82

During World War II, Ferdinand Porsche designed and Volkswagen produced a light military vehicle for German forces called the Kübelwagen (literally 'bucket car').^[1] It was prototyped and first deployed in Poland as the Type 62, but following improvements entered full-scale production as the Type 82.

KFZ.1 Kubelwagen: Volkswagen Type 82 is a reference book about the later model. The book has a brief introduction, but is mainly a collection of photographs of the Kubelwagen during development, including images of prototypes that never reached production. Photographs show the Kubelwagen in various theatres of the war, and four colour plates illustrate the various colour and camouflage schemes that were used. The book also contains information about an amphibious version, the Schwimmwagen, as well the Trippel SG6, a similar-sized amphibious light vehicle developed by Hans Trippel.^[2]
