I saw a video of a vehicle somewhat like this that a farmer from somewhere like Minnesota invented in the 1920s. His was based on a tractor, but used the same screw design as in these videos

When we were doing the Cypress One river patrol missions on the Tigris river there was a deserted Iraqi Engineering base that had a herd of old Russian bridging equipment and they had several versions of the ZIL. Way cool looking vehicle and if you know the inland water marshes of lower Iraq you can see why the ZIL would have been the perfect choice for travel. I never saw one operational there but I would have loved to seen it doing its thing in person.

Very cool, thanks for finding it! Now the question is, was this the inspiration for the German machine, or were they separate but parallel developments? The German could have seen a newsreel of the Fordson a decade before he designed his own machine. Or not. The Soviets clearly copied the German design, the latter of which was built for use on the Eastern Front's terrible terrain conditions.

well i saw some video of Noah's ark,it had twin screws like that so i guess they copied it from him.
so who did they really steal they design from, what was Noah ? Israelite,Jew, maybe he was a Russian spy pretending to be a german boot captain

Ozzie that is not Noah's Ark. It is Douggies Tugboat. Douggie is really Noah (well old enough to be Noah and that would explain his split personality)

Evolution

Actually, if you dig into this idea it appears it was the original idea of a Swedish guy who imigrated to the US. So maybe we can leave it to the evolution idea?????
