What Wikipedia says

The Volkswagen Type 82 Kübelwagen (), or simply Kübel, contractions of the original German word Kübelsitzwagen (translated: 'bucket-seat car' – but when the contractions are translated literally a back-formation of 'bucket' or 'tub'-car results), is a military light utility vehicle designed by Ferdinand Porsche and built by Volkswagen during World War II for use by the Nazi German military (both Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS).
