Waffen-SS amphibian car id?

[torstenbel]

this is an original photo, but the left handside has been overexposed... I know nothing about these vehicles, but it looks to me like it is an amphibian vehicle of some sort...? Would anyone be able to tell what it is and also could anyone have a guess at the unit form the cuffband??

Cheers, Torsten.

slightly closer view....looks to me like the name of the vehicle is Kfz: K2c ?

got this photo with the same lot and assume it shows the same unit, but different vehicles...Cheers, Torsten.

Hi Torsten:
A Volkswagen Schwimmwagen, of which about 14,000 were produced, 1942-1944. It was known as a Kfz.1/20, a K2s and a VW 166. They seem to have been favoured by the SS and other special branches.
Here is a better image.

Hi Bill, thank you very much for your help...it probably is a K2s then I guess??....or was there also a K2c, as this is what it looks like on the identification sign on the door of the car??...Cheers and thanks again, Torsten.

PS: Would you be able to tell what the vehicles on the second photo are? Some type of armoured personal carriers I assume?

thank you...there are still a couple more photos in the lot...but these are not vehicle related...Cheers, Torsten.

Hi Torsten, the APC's in post number 3 would appear to be Sdkfz. 250's or 251's.

Cheers, Ade.

Those are SdKfz.251's

These are nice photos. I like the Schwimmwagen, regardless of the over-exposure
