    8:54: The box on the floor with the words : Verschlußvorratsteile 7,5cm Kw.K. For anyone wondering, that box originally (According to the description) would have contained spare parts for the 7.5 guns breech. (Verschluß=breech, vorrat =spare teile=parts) And yes, Schwimmwagen absolutely means it "schwimms" (schwimmen=to swim Schwimmwagen=swimming wagon).

    Yes, schwimmwagen means swimming car, although it means floating car in context. It was based on the chassis of the kübelwagen, which means bucket car. It was called a bucket car because it was made by bolting stamped metal sheets to a tubular framework. Both cars were made using Volkswagen parts. The kübelwagen was rear-wheel drive only, unlike the American jeep, but because of its construction it was so light that it didn't really need four-wheel drive. It was pretty handy off-road, and if it got into trouble, a couple of men could push it out pretty easily. The schwimmwagen's construction was more complicated because of the need to make it waterproof, and it had a propeller on the back that was raised and lowered by use of a metal stick from the back seat. When lowered, it had a connection to the engine it fit over. Steering in the water was done by using the front wheels as rudders. In the footage I've seen of schwimmwagens in the water, they swim with the wheels in neutral to keep from splashing water up into the passenger compartment.

    Looking at the key needed to unlock the Stug, I'm not sure that isn't just a C/12 primer key, designed to unscrew the primers from the bottom of the shell cartridges... It would depend on how big it is, but it would make sense to have the same tool do multiple things.
