[@MilitariaReviewed]

Lots of cool german gear out there. There is a ton of German stuff I want to do videos on but I am too scared that something similar to what happened to you channel will happen to mine.

In a video, a Ford GPA faces a schwimmwagen in off-road and in water. More aesthetic and better known, the schwimmwagen is an all-terrain vehicle with amphibious capabilities, while the Ford GPA is a real rolling boat, much more comfortable and faster on the water ! Big difference in design to the advantage of the lesser known :)

But not the better car. And much more expensive to produce.

Despite it being a Nazi invention I've always really liked these amphibious vehicles, and would love to see a modern version.

How do you know, that a Nazi invented it?
