Apparently paratroopers took over the vehicle.

Them paratroopers have got themselves an R-V!
I had a friend who was a soldier in Europe and Africa. When the Volkswagen "Thing" came out in the '70s, knowing it was basically an update of the Kübelwagen, I said, "It's pretty cool looking, isn't it?" He replied without the slightest humor or irony "Why would I want such a thing? I spent two years trying to fill them full of holes."

The original looked better if you ask me.

The type 181 was a cool idea back in the 70s. I've seen a few converted to look like the type 82. Many of the type 181 have been used in movies as the Kubelwagon 82. I wish I had one!

I wouldn't mind one either. I'd even take the pedals out and throw an engine in it....
