WW2 soft-skinned vehicles quiz

Right, looks looks like a boat with wheels, but in fact was a truck with the boat hull.
There is not much informations in net about this vehicle… Does anyone know something more?

And for you the new one - should be easy this time :slight_smile:

It should be a Kfz 15 (or one of his development), a 4 wheels steering version.

About the Toyota Su Ki anphibious truck I just know that were produced about 200 exemplars in 1943-44. The most used in Pacific atolls, anyway it was just a boat with wheels, a sort of DUKW but poorer…

No, it´s not a Kfz.15 of Horch :wink:

… but it´s a German one :wink:

A firm that later became Toyota build this truck from the non amphibious
KC truck the Amphib was known as KCY.

It had a pto driven propeller on the rear but no rudder
The front wheels did the steering in the water

It was used on the Pacific islands.

Kfz 3 I think

Ealdwita —> Thank You :slight_smile:
Leccy —> Nope :wink:

Next hint: This car was made 1937 by German well known firm.

Hmmm…

Mercedes-Benz G-5?

Body looks wrong for a G5.

G Wagon 1937

But it does look like this one a little apart from the filler cap, gap behind the rear door and wheel hubs lol.

BMW 325 1937

Yes, well done Mr. malarz !!! It is Mercedes-Benz G5 Kuebelwagen :slight_smile:
Your turn.

Thank you sir!

Here is my offering…

What is it?

Krupp Räumer S

This was armoured though not quite a soft skin

On second thoughts the cab and wheel base are wrong for the one captured ??

Heya, Leccy!

Sorry, but no joy!

You are correct that the Krupp Raumer S is armored, but this isn’t it. This critter is soft-skinned… and for a very different battlefield task.

Hi,

I would say this is Lauster Wargel LW-5.

Lol I just noticed when looking at this photo on another site it actually has LW 5 painted on the side of the vehicle.

LAUSTER WARGEL LW-5

Damazy I would guess it is your turn.

OOOhh… Interesting conversation this… now, how about something from the east!
