Some of the original prototype pics - note that the first 30 Schwimmers were longer than the later ones, based on Kubelwagen mechanics with a wheelbase of 2400mm. They were ordered from Porsche by the Heerespioniere (Pioneer or Special Wilderness Corps)

That's AMAZING! Worth it's weight in gold I should imagine. That's for sharing!
