Discover the M29 Weasel — a forgotten yet revolutionary military vehicle developed by Studebaker during World War II. Introduced in 1943, the M29 was originally designed for a special operation in Norway, intended to support troops in snowy and mountainous environments. Although that mission was eventually cancelled, the vehicle’s potential was clear — and it was soon deployed in multiple theaters of war. Designed to go where jeeps and trucks failed, the Weasel was lightweight, tracked, and capable of crossing snow, mud, and swampy terrain with ease. Later versions, like the M29C, were even amphibious, able to float and operate in water. 🛠️ Powered by a 2.8L Studebaker Model 6-170 Champion inline-six, the M29 delivered 70 horsepower, reaching speeds of up to 35 mph (56 km/h) on land and 4 mph (6.4 km/h) in water. It could carry over 500 kg (1,200 lbs) of cargo or wounded soldiers, making it an essential support vehicle. 💡 Advantages of the M29 Weasel: Excellent off-road mobility Amphibious capability (M29C variant) Versatile roles: cargo, ambulance, personnel transport Reliable in extreme cold, snow, and soft terrain ⚠️ Disadvantages: Thin armor and no weapons — vulnerable to enemy fire Not ideal for fast transport on roads Limited production meant fewer units in the field compared to Jeeps ❤️ Despite its limitations, the Weasel became a beloved tool among troops, especially in Ardennes operations like the Battle of the Bulge, where it navigated deep snow that immobilized other vehicles. It also continued in service post-WWII, including during the Korean War and with NATO Arctic units. In this video, we explore the Weasel’s history, engineering, rare variants, and its impact on modern military all-terrain vehicles like the BvS10 Viking, DT-30 Vityaz, and ST Kinetics Bronco. ▶️ Watch archival footage, see rare high-res photos, and find out why this small but mighty machine deserves more recognition. 💬 Do you think the M29 Weasel was underrated?
