More captured Kubelwagens, this time by the Americans.
The first photo is my favorite, because it shows a photo taken by a GI, who identified the car as a "German Jeep,"
and the "1st VW." Note the driver, who is mockingly wearing a German helmet and giving the Nazi salute.

I assume that is the Po River Valley in Northern Italy, not the Poe Valley in Pennsylvania? _________________ regards

Someone's messing with you, that's not a "vintage" pic, the airplane is modern day stuff. _________________ Rust NEVER sleeps and stock never goes out of style.
Please don't PM technical questions, ask your problem in public so everyone can play along. If you think it's too stupid post it here
Stop dead photo links! Post your photos to The Samba Gallery!

Nobody is messing with me. It was an honest mistake and it has been deleted.
Hopefully this makes up for it.

Here's a couple more.
With no doors, the Schwimmwagen wasn't the most graceful vehicle to enter. Here's a sampling of the different techniques used.
Taxi service anyone?
