Initially designed as a scout car, the German Schwimmwagen was issued to divisions of the Waffen-SS, Wehrmacht Pioneer battalions, parachute divisions, and other elite units. The Schwimmwagen proved popular with all the German troops based upon the extraordinary off-road capabilities. All-wheel drive, great versatility and amphibious capabilities made it the small vehicle of choice for both soldiers and commanders.
The off-road and amphibious operation of the German Schwimmwagen proved extremely valuable in the arduous conditions before, during, and after the Battle of the Bulge. The troop and small arms transport capabilities provided quick response for an advancing, and then retreating, German Army.
This 1:32 scale version of the Schwimmwagen depicts the vehicle as seen at Ardennes in 1944.
The 1:32 scale die cast metal vehicle is approximately 5 inches long and has front wheels that turn. It comes complete with two different tops (one with the top 'up' and one with the top 'down'), so you can choose which top to use when displaying the vehicle. It also comes complete with a battlefield driver figure and accessories such as external gas cans and battle ready gear!
This German Schwimmwagen is part of Forces Of Valor's Enthusiast Edition series, which is the extremely detailed version of this vehicle.
