Adolf Hitler and Volkswagen

[IMG]hitler.org/artifacts/volkswagen/volkswagen.jpg[/IMG]

Sitting at a restaurant table in Munich in the summer of 1932, Hitler designed the prototype for what would become the immensely successful Beetle design for Volkswagen (literally, the "car of the people"). In an era where only the most economic elite possessed cars, Hitler believed that all people should be able to own a car and additionally thought that a smart design could allow for reliability, enjoyment, and vacation travel. The name given to the car in 1938 was Kraft durch Freude (KdF-Wagen, literally "strength through joy car").

Hitler gave his design to the head of Daimler-Benz, Jakob Werlin, and stressed its importance. "Take it with you and speak with people who understand more about it than I do. But don't forget it. I want to hear from you soon, about the technical details."

He stole the design from a Czech, called Ledwinka I believe, and put it into German production. Hardly a stroke of industrial genius.

Ridiculous

In Europe, perhaps. The Ford Model T is the car that really holds that title, imo. It was built quite a bit earlier and was the real reason that normal people (Americans at least) started viewing the automobile as a necessary purchase. It was cheap and reliable, but Henry Ford was an anti-semitic too so I guess the same Hitler arguments apply haha

Yeah somebody mentioned it on page 1. They even have a link to the wiki. Hitlers drawing looks exactly like the car he stole the idea from...

You know there is no reason to bring race into this. I am the one spreading nazi bug propaganda.

You should have put "StewartGriffin is so fucking stupid"
