Kübelwagen.
That is, the VW82 produced by Porsche. Much like the American Jeep, it was the most widely used light vehicle of the German army in World War II, and a symbol of the Wehrmacht. It was also one of the most coveted pieces of German equipment among Allied soldiers—sometimes they'd trade two Jeeps for a single captured Kübelwagen.
Finding a Kübelwagen here that hadn't already been driven away was almost impossible!
Just like the Luger pistol—once captured, it was almost never turned in, but became some Allied soldier's personal trophy. Soldiers would sometimes even risk their lives to get a Luger.
The Kübelwagen was just as popular.
Finding one by chance was pure luck.
But as Pierre approached the car, his excitement faded—the body was riddled with bullet holes, and there were even dark bloodstains on the seats.
Clearly, this wasn't a forgotten vehicle, but one that had been destroyed and left as scrap.
"Maybe it can still be salvaged…"
