The Pkw.K1 Kübelwagen Type 82 was a crucial vehicle widely used by the German military during World War II. It was favored by German officers and soldiers for its simple structure, ease of maintenance, low fuel consumption, and excellent off-road capabilities. Because of its boxy appearance resembling a square barrel, it earned the nickname Bucket Car. The Type 82's outstanding performance on the battlefield made it one of the symbols of the German military during the war. In the harsh desert environment of North Africa, the Type 82 won the trust of Rommel's Afrika Korps due to its exceptional capabilities. To adapt to the complex battlefield conditions in the desert, the Wolfsburg factory specially equipped the Type 82 vehicles used in North Africa with balloon tires.
