Two replies to that jab:

1: That is because the Iltis cannot get far enough into the thick to get stuck. But then again, I have seen them stuck on level ground (in sand) when towing a trailer.

2: You do not need unstuckers for an Iltis, but rather a towbar or a flatdeck trailer would suffice.

I must point out that the M38/M38A1 did not have unstuckers. One in a hundred of the Cdn2 or Cdn3 maybe had winches, although there were none here in Manitoba.

Then again, the whole idea of an unstucker was just an economical method of pretending you had fulfilled the need for a winch.
