Schwimmwagen con Flak
Potrebbe essere un'idea interessante...

In effetti mi è sorta qualche perplesità sulla reale efficacia di una simile soluzione ma, dato che non sono un esperto, ho voluto verificare le opinioni espresse nella discussione.

Alanmccoubrey ha scritto: "So we have a rear engined vehicle with a gun mounted on the back, just what is keeping the front wheels on the ground?"
e Mark Lopiccola: "With all the problems the US .50cal M2 machine gun gave the Jeep, I highly doubt this was a workable solution. The only thing crazier than this picture, would be a video of it firing while afloat!"

Jan Peters scrivendo "The 20mm Gebirgsflak 38 only weighed in at 276 kg, a mere 3 men in weight. To save some weight on the back, the screw and drive for swimming was removed..." ha mandato a fondo la Schwimm lasciando "galleggiare" solo la wagen. [SM=g27823]
