DUKW (vyslovov\u00e1no \u201educk\u201c) je jedine\u010dn\u00e9 obrn\u011bn\u00e9 amfibick\u00e9 vozidlo, kter\u00e9 sehr\u00e1lo kl\u00ed\u010dovou roli b\u011bhem druh\u00e9 sv\u011btov\u00e9 v\u00e1lky. Vyvinuto b\u011bhem pouh\u00fdch 42 dn\u016f, DUKW bylo navr\u017eeno k p\u0159eprav\u011b voj\u00e1k\u016f a z\u00e1sob z lod\u00ed na b\u0159eh, po pl\u00e1\u017e\u00edch a dokonce i vnitrozemsk\u00fdmi vodn\u00edmi cestami.<\/p>\n\n
Navzdory po\u010d\u00e1te\u010dn\u00edmu skepticismu arm\u00e1dy DUKW prok\u00e1zalo svou hodnotu v boji, zejm\u00e9na b\u011bhem spojeneck\u00fdch invaz\u00ed na Sic\u00edlii a Normandii. Schopnost p\u0159ekon\u00e1vat jak sou\u0161, tak vodu z n\u011bj \u010dinila neoceniteln\u00fd prost\u0159edek pro p\u0159epravu voj\u00e1k\u016f, vybaven\u00ed a z\u00e1sob.<\/p>\n\n
DUKW se pod\u00edlelo na t\u00e9m\u011b\u0159 ka\u017ed\u00e9 spojeneck\u00e9 invazi b\u011bhem druh\u00e9 sv\u011btov\u00e9 v\u00e1lky. Vozilo voj\u00e1ky a z\u00e1soby na pl\u00e1\u017ee Normandie, pom\u00e1halo p\u0159ekon\u00e1vat \u0159eku R\u00fdn a bylo dokonce vyu\u017eito jako \u00fato\u010dn\u00e9 plavidlo v Pacifiku.<\/p>\n\n
Afroameri\u010dt\u00ed voj\u00e1ci, kte\u0159\u00ed byli obvykle p\u0159id\u011blov\u00e1ni k podp\u016frn\u00fdm \u00fakol\u016fm, \u010dasto skon\u010dili v bojov\u00fdch situac\u00edch p\u0159i \u0159\u00edzen\u00ed DUKW. Jejich odvaha a dovednosti zpochybnily existuj\u00edc\u00ed p\u0159edsudky v\u016f\u010di \u010dernoch\u016fm v bojov\u00fdch pozic\u00edch.<\/p>\n\n
Po v\u00e1lce bylo mnoho DUKW prod\u00e1no jako p\u0159ebytky a na\u0161lo nov\u00e9 uplatn\u011bn\u00ed v civiln\u00edm \u017eivot\u011b.

V 40. letech m\u011bl Melvin Flath n\u00e1pad vyu\u017e\u00edt DUKW pro prohl\u00eddkov\u00e9 v\u00fdlety. Koncept rychle nabral na popularit\u011b a v 90. letech mili\u00f3ny turist\u016f ro\u010dn\u011b absolvovaly j\u00edzdy DUKW.<\/p>\n\n
Dnes jsou DUKW obl\u00edbenou turistickou atrakc\u00ed v m\u011bstech po cel\u00fdch Spojen\u00fdch st\u00e1tech. Nab\u00edzej\u00ed n\u00e1v\u0161t\u011bvn\u00edk\u016fm jedine\u010dn\u00fd zp\u016fsob, jak vid\u011bt m\u00edstn\u00ed pam\u00e1tky jak ze sou\u0161e, tak z vody.<\/p>\n\n
V roce 1999 se DUKW p\u0159epravuj\u00edc\u00ed pasa\u017e\u00e9ry potopilo v jeze\u0159e Hamilton v Arkansasu, p\u0159i \u010dem\u017e zem\u0159elo 13 lid\u00ed.

DUKW jsou slo\u017eit\u00e1 vozidla, kter\u00e1 vy\u017eaduj\u00ed pravidelnou \u00fadr\u017ebu a opravy. Aby byla zaji\u0161t\u011bna bezpe\u010dnost a spolehlivost, provozovatel\u00e9 turistick\u00fdch DUKW \u010dasto nahrazuj\u00ed mnoho p\u016fvodn\u00edch vojensk\u00fdch komponent modern\u00edmi ekvivalenty.<\/p>\n\n
