I just checked with my Wife who is German and it is spelled this way if you cannot use the ü umlaut.
Kübelwagen "German"
Kuebelwagen "English"

Your wife uis right but the Europeans are starting to get rid of accent marks to simplify things.

Now in German spelling all items with umlauts -- the double dot-- are replaced by an extra e.

And the ESS-TSETT, that looks like a B, is now spelled with ss
