You will find that Kübelwagen's were used in a number of leichte Schtuzen Kompanie and mid/late war as part of the Panzeraufklärungskompanie and leichte Aufklärungskompanie as part of their organic transporation.

Quite right, and again, that would be for squadrons of kubelwagens (4 guys per, understrength platoon of 24 in 6 kubels - and of course only light arms). In other use, or in smaller numbers I still feel carrying capacity should be extremely limited. They're not trucks.

If you run, you'll only die tired.
