Landwasserschlepper was an unarmed amphibious tractor produced in Germany during World War II. Ordered by the Heereswaffenamt in 1935 for use by German Army engineers, the Landwasserschlepper (or LWS) was intended as a lightweight river tug with some capacity to operate on land. Due to protracted development, the Landwasserschlepper did not enter regular service until 1942 and, though it proved useful in both Russia and North Africa, it was produced in only small numbers. Landwasserschleppers remained operational until the end of the war in May 1945.
Designed as a lightweight amphibious river tug, the Landwasserschlepper or LWS was first tested in prototype form in 1940 before entering regular service in 1942. Looking more like a boat on tracks, the LWS was intended to be used in river crossing and bridging operations. © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
