Shortly after the fall of France in 1940, the German Army identified the need for a small durable amphibious vehicle for reconnaissance and headquarters units. Several prototypes were developed and tested and by the end of April 1942, the specifications for the type 166 Schwimmwagen were decided on for mass production. This model had a wheel-base of only 200 cm (6.6 ft) and was four wheel drive.
14,276 vehicles were built from 1942 to 1944. Given these numbers, the Type 166 Schwimmwagen was the most mass-produced amphibious car in history.
