Good find. My brother and a were discussing kettenkrads a few hours earlier and I was showing him grunt1's kett and VW stuff at Battleground Toys. I am actually building a kett right now and seeing one in action helps me determine how I want my result to turn out.
Seeing the 'wagens didn't hurt, either. Having a Type 82E show up would have been frosting.

Great

Love the sounds they make.
Recommend anyone who likes Schwimms, Kubels or Krads watch this.
Thanks for posting the link.

It seemed to me that the Scwimm's had a little more pep to them rolling with the Kubles.
Unless that one Kuble was a little "tired ".
I would imagine the Scwimms were a lot lighter ( they did need to float ) than the Kuble making them easier for off road use.
I had a buddy of mine who offered me his " original running " Kuble for $20,000.
Right after Katrina. At the time I had the money but passed.
Still not sure if I made the right decision.
I am broke now . If I would have gotten it , I would still be broke . But I would have had an original Kuble in my car port.

Great video! The comments mentioned that the first schwimmer was a replica due to the wheelbase. After re-watching it the wheelbase on that one is much larger. Thanks for sharing
