The Schwimmwagen Type 166 was the most produced amphibious car of all time. Although it was produced for amphibious duty it actually saw more use on land than in water. The Germans realized its usefulness as a recon vehicle because its flat shell and 4-wheel drive worked well in the mud on the Eastern Front so this is where the vast majority of these vehicles were sent. This particular vehicle probably belonged to the Stabs Kompanie of StugAbt.203 that spent from June 1941 until October 1944 on the Eastern Front.
