Designed by Ferdinand Porsche and introduced in 1940, it became an essential means of transportation for infantry, armored and support units on virtually all fronts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIts lightweight construction, air-cooled rear engine and excellent cross-country mobility made it particularly suitable for demanding operational conditions. Despite its simple rear-wheel-drive layout, the Type 82 proved remarkably versatile and reliable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDuring 1944, the Kübelwagen saw extensive service in a variety of theaters, including the fierce fighting around Monte Cassino in Italy, the Normandy campaign near Caen and the vast battlefields of the Eastern Front. It was also employed by German units operating in the mountainous terrain of the Balkans, including Macedonia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUsed for liaison, reconnaissance, personnel transport and command duties, the Type 82 remained in service until the end of the war in 1945. More than 50,000 vehicles were produced, making it one of the most recognizable German military utility vehicles of the conflict.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Das Werk","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53517793231115,"sku":"16026","price":46.76,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0777\/1809\/4091\/files\/image_a3dda151-43e7-44eb-84f3-2a684c345186.jpg?v=1794147197","url":"https:\/\/anglia-models.com\/fr\/products\/das-werk-16026-1-16-volkswagen-type-82-kubelwagen","provider":"Anglia Models","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
