## Description

erdinand Porsche produced an amphibious version of the Kubelwagen (Type 82) known as Type 128. The vehicle was too large and unstable so he reduced it in size to create the Type 166 Schwimmwagen. The Type 166 originally replaced reconnaissance unit motorcycle- sidecars but also became a scout and staff car. Amphibious and all-wheel drive made the Type 166 a vehicle for mud, snow, sand or water. The rear-mounted three-blade propeller was lowered and self-engaged to linkage from the engine. The Type 166 was the most produced amphibious vehicle in history. The first elements of the sPzAbt.101 arrived in Normandy on June 12, 1944, with 45 Tiger II’s and numerous other types of vehicles including Schwimmwagen Type 166 WH-1361 549. With 6 days ashore the Allies had managed to break out from the beach heads and by the end of June 1944 the sPzAbt.101 had lost 1/3 of their tanks as well as most of its support vehicles. By the end of August the remaining tanks had been lost.
