Volkswagen Schwimmwagen in Fiction
The amphibious vehicle in the manga and anime series Kokoro Library, used by the three sisters who maintain the titular library, is very reminiscent of a Volkswagen Schwimmwagen, as is the vehicle used by Section III in Pumpkin Scissors. It was also used in the Polish TV series Samochodzik i templariusze (Mr Automobile and Knight Templars) as the main character's amphibious car (to which he owes his nickname), although in the book the car is described as modified Ferrari 410 Superamerica. The vehicle is also featured in the game Company of Heroes as alternate units. It also makes an appearance in the racing simulator Gran Turismo 5 and the war game Battlefield 1942: Secret Weapons of WW2.
