Kubelwagen: A look at the Wehrmachts cars

By Leo Lindberg

Kubelwagen are rather unknown vehicle types and often it is thought that it only was the VW K?belwagen. The K?belwagen belong to the cross-country vehicle category. The name doesn't sound particularly attractive, but it is the correct name that fits it. The name K?belwagen or K?belsitzwagen can be traced back to the beginning of the development of off-road military cars. In order to achieve the lowest possible weight, the doors were omitted on some models. They were replaced by tarpaulins or were omitted entirely. So that the occupants did not fall out of the vehicle while driving, bucket seats were installed to give the driver and front passenger a better seating. These seats were colloquially known as K?bel because of their tub-like shape and the vehicles in which they were installed as K?belsitzwagen or briefly as K?belwagen. In the course of time, this name became a synonym for all vehicles of this type, regardless of whether they still had bucket seats or not. Among other things, the VW type 82 is associated with the designation K?belwagen, but it is much older and not manufacturer-specific as this book is going to show.
