Schwimmwagen DISG Bad Wimpfen 2008 - part 5

The annual DISG Pfingstentreffen 2008 was held in the Bad Wimpfen, Germany region and featured several Schwimmwagen.

[@redreaper-xe6so]

glorious simplicity in design...I'm surprised nobody makes them now...

[@drakirger4297]

They are to cool this is why nowone makes them

[@nakazatoGTR]

after all these years since WW2, and now, they still work!

[@LoveAllOpensAndHeals]

Awesome! I would love to buy one of these just to cruise around town in. I don't know why I love the German designed vehicles of WWII so much. I was in the US Army as a tank mechanic and stationed in Germany for 5 years. The closest thing that we had in the US Army during my enlistment was what we called the Gamma Goat. I was assigned and drove one in Erlangen Germany in 1982. One time I drove the Gamma Goat in a convoy all the way from Erlangen to Hohenfels and also Grafenwöhr Training Areas. Best wishes and happy floating!

[@achtungpanzer7967]

Well good to see all the Schwimmwagen in action

[@dimashardiyanto646]

.

[@buntyKumar-uo3sr]

Wow... Every car should be like this........

[@Toolingabout]

The one dude with with the button to raise and lower the prop really outshined the rest of these unsophisticated blokes with their metal rod.

[@Mangos1021]

Probably the rest had the feature broken. I mean it is old.

[@peternjeru9727]

Others chose to keep original design. It's all so cool

[@Luxai]

Iunno about you, but just saying the word "schwimmwagen" makes me smile - it's the most adorable name for a car ever.

[@RMediaObelisk]

I agree with you!

[@ryanmulherin2682]

I think the same way.

[@hungbulldaddy]

Who had a Jeep that could swim across streams.. The Germans. It almost reminds me of those Three Stooges movies and Childrens cartoons where they would throw a electric fan out the back of some connivance and motor across lakes and seas. Happy to see so many of these noble veterans in one place actually in action still. And the spirited owners and operators demonstrating for the faint of heart their practicality for their purpose.

[@twotailedavenger]

HUNG BULLDADDY Hey, the Americans had one, too. It was just bigger.

[@justinstearns9723]

twotailedavenger We actually had 2, the GMC DUKW, based on the 2 1/2 ton CCKW and the Ford GPA, based on Ford built Jeeps. Although the GPA wasn't all that great and wasn't widely used.

[@AdamNicholasSievers]

I love the crazy side of german engineering.

[@Timotheus157]

Ausgezeichnet! Schwimmwagen ist sehr gut! Gott mit uns! 👏🍻💘🌷🙋🙋🙋

[@ClassicvolksHome]

Fantastic! Thank you for sharing this post.

[@pngmick]

VW should make these again.

[@cherylm2C6671]

It should be a tribute project. None of these $40K cars float!

[@Trolades]

Hans lets go visit the Brits ya?

[@justinquaylepate1358]

I'd love to have one of those, that way I would have a car/boat. Come in handy when it floods

[@MonteGould]

Thats the coolest toy ever

[@vonRubentroph]

I know right

[@JackFlemingFan1]

Excellent video of the amazing Schwimmwagen!

[@kombik98]

I'm stunned I've never looked at this one before. WOW!! I could sell my Split bus and buy one tomorrow. Horribly impractical but who CARES!! Totally cool. I just love the way they sit so low in the water, the pics of the formation of them heading down stream.....just gold!! Like em or hate em WW2 German vehicles are the bomb.

[@eventfulnonsense]

You need that in Manila during the Monsoon seasons LoL!

[@Reiv_soldier]

Great German cars

[@craigkaschan4822]

I thought these were rare but there is heaps here. Good to see.

[@CanadaForTheWin1]

lol, wouldn't mind getting one myself it's looks awsome, wouldn't mind driving one of them in the one of the great lakes over here. Could either the uploader or another youtuber tell me the price for a Schwimmwagen, just wondering.

[@ThanhVu-ix2ko]

Cảm ơn đã ra ủng hộ Việt Nam Nam

[@JanosWalter1]

Cool technology for 1942 -44 !! Common VW - make a " marine Golf " :)

[@lionelvillahermosa653]

Excellent beautiful

[@ralphgeigner3011]

So many at one location, I suppose after the war such vehicles were available to send back to the UK ? and of course as my father told me ( a USA WWII VET ) stuff was all over the place. GO ARMY

[@bushlee2914]

Warum haben die meisten eine Stange mit der man die Schraube runter lässt, aber hier und da gibt es welche, wo es automatisch zu gehen scheint. Wo ist da der Unterschied?

[@volksjager8]

Man I so want one!

[@gustavocatan7809]

Quiero uno de esos, soy de Argentina, muy lindos

[@wordreet]

I absolutely love this little Wagen! B¬)

[@ryanmulherin2682]

I don't know why, I find these comical!

[@ThePauloVoz]

FANTÁSTICO

[@Jackoojack]

Cool to think these WWII cars are still around. I would like to have one, but my dream ride would be a Tiger.

[@RequiemVortex]

The great thing about this car is that it does what it says on the tin :)

[@johnchandrav.1823]

Yes it does 😊

[@Thrashaero]

so i noticed one of them didn't have to manually lower the prop, why?

[@sonnylatchstring]

@SchwimmerDave Indeed, you are right!! I only read the first part of the wiki site: Apparently 155 was merely the total 1941 pre production of type 128

[@Mark22134]

Now grand children play with the VW Schwinmmwagen time is changing

[@tomlepski8306]

You've got to hand it to Hitler's Germany,the egineering levels were very high. Little wonder that was the solid foundation of the awesome engineering we find on Porsche,Mercedes,BMW,Audi and Volkswagen.

[@CombatVetTom]

That is SO COOL

[@roberto7319]

I have a Jeep Wrangler, but this is awesome !!!

[@pepevelez4742]

daaaaammmm… III waanttt one of thoooseeee...

[@rdvancakmak1737]

German engineering perfect 👌🏼

[@zakura1700]

se consiguen los planos tecnicos de esto?

[@borivojetravica569]

How much cost to have one this days?

[@galgre1508]

Greenpeacе sie wo ??? Надеюсь это не в Германии, а где то в африке? )))

[@jeffreykraus4124]

So freaking cool

[@md10591]

great little car !! nice video .

[@disturbedltlman6007]

Beautiful vehicle, would love to have one

[@streifenhoenchen1]

wo bekommt man so ein auto heute noch weg und wie funktioniert der antrieb ?

[@chick99936]

how much would one of them cost i want one

[@dereksuddreth8672]

This Old Salt loves this! Average top speed on land/water?

[@titiduru61]

80/10 Km max speed .

[@e-curb]

80km/h, 4 knots.

[@SchwimmerDave]

Das Problem könnte nicht nur die Strömung sein, sondern auch die Binnenschiffe, die eine große Gefahr bilden könnten und relativ hohe Wellen erziehen. Der SW ist sehr klein...

[@brycewakefield6565]

What type of fuel does it take?

[@ExploringCabinsandMines]

I WANT ONE !!

[@Fernando-ny8on]

,olha ate que um carro deste aqui em Niterói ia muito bem. Quando chove , alaga tudo nesta cidade que já foi maravilhosa. Com os políticos que temos. Niterói Rio de Janeiro.

[@DieBankRocker]

einfach hammer die teile :D

[@pablof59]

How many of them were produced ? Many survivors? Weird for german engineering that the propeller must be manually dropped.

[@poco1990]

Awesome!

[@williseiner7373]

Super Aufnahmen !!!!

[@xXE4GLEyEXx]

dear santa :)

[@ycruce]

es lo mejor que han podido inventar los alemanes.

[@okrajoe]

Hey, it floats. Or rather, it swims.

[@TigerBaron]

+okrajoe schwims lol

[@crack61616]

schwimmt

[@igotajopamerica3040]

The shot of you guys going up the river together imagine fishing looking up and see you guys coming "THE GERMANS ARE COMING".

[@TheSchlackmeister]

Ueberholen ohne bliker? P.S. super cool

[@pilcherdavid77]

Is it possibile to buy somewhere such car?

[@SchwimmerDave]

@sonnylatchstring That is not true at all. In fact MORE THAN 14,000 were actually made during the war. Today no one know how many there are, but at least several hundreds are still "alive". Luckily so!

[@e-curb]

Around 400 are known to exist today.

[@rodmauldin]

Ausgezeichnet!

[@messiassantos250]

Va passa hoje com o carro em um possa de água?

[@BlueFatalis]

Does the Shwimmwagen have heaters like the beetle does?

[@e-curb]

no. Having Beetle type heating wouldn't help. There are no side curtains for when the top is up.

[@alejandronagel5986]

Quiero uno para salir a pescar por el Rio de la Plata

[@jcmangan]

What about the waves?

[@Mushketer888]

which torque has schwimmwagen?

[@MrRiddler6789]

Germans are brilliant there weapons there technology they had then if they were still around

[@titiduru61]

Their and their .

[@elcreador6675]

Excelente 🇩🇴🇩🇴🌎

[@MrLorco]

wirklich schöne fahrzeuge ;)

[@huntergriffey2281]

I wonder what the schwimmwagen does

[@ChemistryAmsterdam]

Whats the price 4 one?

[@sv_cheats1970]

I really want to own a schwimmenwagen but I just can't find one

[@Unus_Annus_]

They are also extremely expensive

[@mariocisneros911]

? Why do they need a mirror ? Who or what is going to pass them .

[@DivinoEterno1]

Éo carro ideal para as cidades brasileiras que vivem alagando.

[@fredericlagarde291]

Un rêve oui oui la voiture de mes rêves 😘👌❤❤❤😘👌👍🇨🇵🤙👍🇨🇵🤙

[@vincentsantamaria484]

Great!

[@BIGdicSWINGING]

will it go in water

[@vonKragh]

Why do only the child wear a life jacket? Do you think it cannot sink??

[@Krabadaque]

+vonKragh Very good question indeed!

[@fuflang]

+vonKragh they can probably swim.

[@Demonslayer20111]

vonKragh because it's required by law that children wear lifevests. adults don't have to

[@johnarizona3820]

wow amazing

[@Mocking69]

凄い！！俺も欲しい～！！乗りたい～♪

[@gurtsmunta]

want one

[@julianv.5848]

IS THE SCHWIMMWAGEN A 4X4.....?

[@sebastienjanelle7747]

Yes but only in first gear and reverse

[@e-curb]

@@sebastienjanelle7747 Not true. The lever to the right of the shifter changes it's ranges: 4 low, 4 high, and 2 high.

[@dynamizer2]

Cool

[@anwara2796]

if VW sell schwimmwagen automatic transmission i would get the money to buy it ASAP....

[@GreenCanvasInteriorscape]

It seems like an entrepreneur could make a ton of money recreating this

[@wwiivehicle7705]

Very early second would war German small off road vehicle, Today we can see most of them at Volkswagen Museum and Porsche Museum and Porsche home town Gmund museum, one set 4 unit of Prosche Prototype 1941 Typ 877,1942 Typ 166,1943 VW82e,1943 VW82 only can see at S and P 4x4 LTD in Hong Kong China it is a 4 wheel drive Co in China since 1987,The owner is a historic vehicle collector, he got many nice collection, Inc this 4 war time German army vehicle.His Prosche 166 prototype is one of the best 3 original condition in the world. www.tankmodel.com/co-collection.htm

[@jasper9940]

epic!

[@falihmulyana]

[@klausbade7235]

Top 👍

[@alvarogodoy4466]

Interesante vehículo anfibios

[@joseffankerl5206]

Ohne Musik wäre das besser.

[@juannunez63]

Why VW dont make more of these cars , I will buy one...!!!!!!!

[@cleamaclean8765]

Comeback baby... Mine oh mine!

[@thegreatga]

[@e-curb]

Top speed is 4 knots.
