6:18. I have a 1960 Beetle that I plan to restore in the near future. The engine is a 1200cc 36hp. It looks virtually identical to the one in that Kubelwagen. It’s amazing how little the engine changed between those years.
Dieser Fakt mit den fehlenden Runen kann als authentisch ausgelegt werden, es gab Gegebenheiten, zB. ein Wechsel in eine andere Division, da worden am Spiegel keine Runen abgebildet und ein "blinder Kragenpiegel" getragen. Manchmal hatte sogar die allgemeine SS keine Runen am linken Spiegel, der Grund ist mir nicht bekannt.

The Kubel in this video is rear wheel drive. They did produce a 4x4 Beetle during the war using Kubelwagen and Schwimmwagen parts but I don't know of any 4x4 Kubels, they did made half track versions of the Kubel. I don't think there'd be any real off road benefit of a 4x4 Kubel. The Willys wasn't that great off road anyway (as my grandad who fought in the war would tell you, many soldiers broke their wrists on the steering wheels of Jeeps off roading, the Kubelwagens steering column was mounted on springs to avoid this and Jeeps would get stuck very easily as the 4x4 systems back then were very basic compared to today).
Nichts für ungut, aber wenn man einen VW Typ 82 als "German 4x4 World War II Volkswagen" bezeichnet, hat man von der Materie nicht den blassesten Schimmer.
