[tintin44]

Hello,after work,a backhoe tore some element of the car buried...

[DeMil]

So you found some parts of a Schwimmwagen in the earth ?

Yes,the owner,who buried the schwimmwagen,she did not want that either exhumation.is for remediation work,i did snatch a few things...

hard to tell what some of the parts are, and I have got a schwimmwagen!! I see a bit of steering wheel/column and a bit of the front fender and bodywork. Not sure about the rest....

parts

hi,

I believe that the 4th photo shows a piece of the bodywork underneath the windscreen, the raised channel shown seals the windscreen to the hull when the windscreen is in the raised position. and the central "dimple" can also be seen.

cheers lennard

The area is buried or the car was a position of the LHA

Sad you could not dig up all of the fragments ... finding the part with the frame number would enable you to rebuild a "real" VW 166 without near to zero original parts ... beside it would be a great fun to see what is left of the car after years underground.

This car is very probably a coffin,the most urgent is to give these soldiers a grave one day
