Just wondering-did the German Army use Kubelwagens in their Blitzkrieg raids

Any WW2 fundis?

about 52 000 were used throughout the IIWW from the african front (there is this famous pic of Gen.Rommel sitting in one) to the russian front.
the kuebelwagen was germany's answer to the american jeep but compared unfavourable to it..

You need some Jerry cans and a gun rack on that thing. I was actually reading an article on the Meyers Manz Kubel prototype last night. Shout out if you want me to scan if for you.......
