Just Saw a Schwimmwagen

Sometimes you never know what you're going to see!

On the way back from a business meeting this morning, on a country road, I saw a model 166 Schwimmwagen on a flat bed sitting in front of an old building. I pulled over gave it a good look. It's parked in front of the building that "Edelweiss Militaria" resides in. Way Cool

I'd like to see pictures of it if you have a chance to get back there before it's gone.

I looked up the site, he's selling it, but I'm afraid to ask how much. Go to the new items, there it is.

I live about 9 miles away from Hatfield, where they filmed SPR & Band of Brothers.

I was driving home from work one day, during the Saving Private Ryan filming, and had to overtake/pass a tank transporter carrying a Tiger Tank - that image will stay with me forever!
