    Strange vehicle?

    Anyone recognize this vehicle?
    It was used by 5. SS Panzer Div Wiking, at least the photo was in the album.

    Thanks in advance

    Hi Göran:

    Your vehicle is called a "Land-Wasser-Schlepper.

    It was used as a tractor on land and a tug in the water.
    Built from 1940, I don't know how many were built.

    Manufactured by Alkett Gmbh, gebr Sachsenberg AG and Huttenwerke.
    Powered by a 300 hp Maybach engine.

          This vehicle didn't belong to 'Wiking' but to heeres pionier bataillon 627
