Schwimmwagen - The Car That Floats

During World War Two, Hitler tasked Ferdinand Porsche to create an amphibious car for use by German Forces. This would see the creation of the Schwimmwagen. In the prototype phase known as the Type 128 and eventually the Type 166, the Schwimmwagen would become extremely successful both on land and in the water. In this video we look at the Schwimmwagen and its uses during World War Two.

At Premier History we want to take you on a journey through time and grow your knowledge to see what it was actually like to be in some of the pivotal points in World History.

Is the Schwimmwagen the craziest invention by the Germans during the war? Perhaps you know another crazier invention.

This vehicle is incredible, especially that it was around 80 years ago, it's fascinating to be able to go around everywhere like that

With further development the method of steering could have been improved.
