Historical and Technical Information

The Land-Wasser-Schlepper (LWS) is a German amphibious tractor developed in the 1930s by Rheinmetall-Borsig for the needs of the engineering and landing troops of the Kriegsmarine. This vehicle played a key role during the planning of the invasion of Great Britain (Operation Seelöwe) and in logistical operations on the Eastern Front. The LWS was distinguished by its ability to travel on both land and water, thanks to a combination of tracked propulsion and a propeller. The medium production of this version took place between 1941 and 1944, a period of intense military activity during World War II.

This vehicle was mainly used by Germany and was intended to assist in river crossings, transport soldiers, supplies, and equipment to hard-to-reach locations. Thanks to its versatility, it participated, among other operations, on the Eastern Front, where the challenging terrain required amphibious vehicles.
