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.
In an era where only the 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'. Pictures From History
