Ryefield model 1:35 German Staff Car Type 82E

The history of the VW Beetle began in the 1930s when the Nazi regime in Germany decided to create the cheapest and easiest-to-manufacture 'people's car' possible. It was also assumed that the new vehicle would be as easy to drive and operate as possible. After discussions with many German car manufacturing companies, it was decided to establish a separate unit for this task called Volkswagen (German: people's or people's car), and Ferdinand Porsche became the chief designer of the new vehicle. It was assumed that large-scale production would be launched for civilian purposes, but after the outbreak of World War II, the volume was significantly reduced. From 1941 to 1944, the VW Typ 60 was produced, which was mainly intended for high-ranking Nazi officials. At the same time, military versions were produced, such as the Volkswagen Typ 87, also known as the Kommandeurswagen, which was also produced from 1941 to 1944.until the year and served as a staff car. A similar role was played by the VW Type 82e car. A light ambulance (Type 83) and a vehicle with a gas generator (Type 230, the so-called Holzbrenner) were also built.
