Strange vehicle?

[TabulaTJ]

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.
