Waffen-SS SG-6 Trippelwagen

Hans Trippel designed the all-terrain four-wheeled drive amphibious car in 1935. His technique was to fit car mechanics into a boat hull rather than try to waterproof a car chassis. He set up a factory in Hamburg in 1936 under the patronage of Hermann Göring’s Luftwaffe. Production of a militarised vehicle for the Wehrmacht began in 1937. In 1939, a stretched version capable of carrying 16 troops went into production. From August 1940, the SG-6 was also produced by Bugatti in Alsace. It was designed for reconnaissance units.

Principal Service: 1939-1945.

Numbers manufactured: approx. 1,000

In the game, the Trippelwagen is capable of transporting three men and comes stock with the amphibious and recce special rules. You can also upgrade it with a pintle-mounted MMG for that bit of extra firepower.
