About the
Volkswagen Type 82E Staff Car
Entering
production just prior to the start of WWII in 1938, more than 20
million models of the
Volkswagen "Beetle" had been built by 2003. Known during the war as the
Kdf wagen, the VW
came in 3 types: Type 60 civilian sedan, military Type 82E, which
featured the Kubelwagen
chassis and a sedan body, and military 4WD vehicle Type 87. As many as
546 models of the
Type 82E were built between 1941 and 1946. Featuring road clearance
75mm higher than the
civilian model, the Type 82E offered improved driving performance. The
Volkswagen Type 82E
was used as a staff car by many German military and government
officials.
