It is only a prototype, so yes it is obscure and armoured (just) and a schwimmy thing. A vehicle produced by the gentleman in question has graced this thread before. Hint, hint.

 | Time for a change. I believe that's technically several different vehicles, Panzerspahwagen 'Schildkrote' (or 'turtle') 1, 2 & 3 (designed by that certain amphibious gent) and the bottom one's a Trippel e3/e3m, which seems to be the same thing without a turret. Details I've got are sketchy, 1942 for the tests and ultimately rejected.

Turn to page 195 of the essential 'Encyclopedia of German Tanks of World War Two' by Chamberlain & Doyle for an explaination not too dissimilar to the one given. The 2 early prototypes based on a Trippel SG6 in 1942 were armed with a single MG. The Schildkröte III differed in that it had a 2cm MG151. Judging by the armament I believe that the swimming vehicles are the version III. The unarmed ammunition carrier is the Enheits 3M of 1944.  Your go.
