Due to the fact Volkswagen 82 (Kubelwagen) proved very successful through the campaign in Poland, it absolutely was necessary to create everincreasing amounts of this vehicle. Later, Ferdinand Porsche developed an amphibian form of this automobile, called the Schwimmwagen. The light weight with this automobile (about 1/2 ton) permitted crossing of muddy areas, since just two men had been enough to help keep this car moving. For reconnaissance and liaison missions, water needed to be crossed frequently, which was impossible along with other vehicles.
