Type 82 Kubelwagen interview

[@echohunter4199]

I’m a friend of Patrick Stoll who restored this vehicle at his shop in St. Wendel (before he moved to Bavaria) and his shop was amazing from an MVer point of view. Patrick refuses to use bondo/body filler and his work is well respected. I’m sure he wasn’t happy about the electrical issue and worked to help figure it out. I’m an American US Army Infantry Senior NCO and was stationed at Baumholder, Germany from 2002-07. I bought an M-151A2 over my satellite phone while I was in Iraq for $1,500 and paid extra to have some body work done and fresh 319 CARC green paint. If memory serves me, this vehicle was used in the movie “Valkyrie” filmed in 07? I remember seeing Patrick driving up on one of his heavy motorcycles with the sidecar. And those reproduction parts from the Czech Republic took a long time to refine, he also makes the MG mounts and associated brackets for the motorcycles which are damn accurate to the originals. I’m a retired Infantryman and Patrick was also an Infantryman but he was in the Airborne unit which is pretty damn tough compared to ours. I think it would be great if MD Juan or some other company could reproduce a complete frame, body and all interior parts for the Kubel where someone can build one from a standard VW. If anyone came to the WWII events I coordinated in Baumholder, then you met me. It was an honor to show both Allied and Axis vehicles and Soldiers in a great gathering free of TV cameras that only try to put us in a bad light as Nazi lovers or war mongers and not lovers of history who wanted to preserve something that was tossed away as trash.

Thank you for your great review /comment. Yes it’s very “strange” to see the German vehicles, as mostly we only see the side that “won” and the other side is seen as a negative to hold any nazi military gear. But both sides led to innovation, giving the world the jet engine and high speed Communication

The media is leftist so anything not to their thinking is Nazi. History is about the past good or bad it happened and were obligated to learn from it so we don't repeat it WWII was inevitable and it's history. My father was a WWII , Korea veteran and didn't talk to us about it when he passed away then I learned from his service records. My mother was German she actually worked at one of those companies that supplied parts for the Wehrmacht during the war.

The Kubelwagen drove very good for not being four wheel drive and light enough to push if stuck in the mud.

Nice video Steve! The owner is obviously very knowledgeable, great to learn about the finer details on such a rare machine.

Also .myne" I found that "Typ82" in S.Austria in Summer 1987: in bad-conditions; made the groundup restoring, in Baviera/"D": searching for 2 years all the Original parts (down to All orig. "KZ"-mkd Bolts&nuts), spent the price of a Maserati: got "bases" for divorce:; found from Volgograd/Russia: its own A.A./. MG34-mounting device: I am happy: doctors says: "paranoia".😊
