Hitler's Chariots Volume Three

This is the exciting, fascinating saga of the creation of the world's most popular car, the famed Volkswagen Beetle, under the Nazi regime of German dictator Adolf Hitler, who played a pivotal role in its design, construction, and marketing during 1933-1938. It is also the story of the two Drs. Porsches who created it – Ferdinand, Sr., and his son, Ferry – as well as Dr. Robert Ley's German Labor Front that built it, and Adolf Huhnlein's Nazi Motor Corps that helped popularize driving and made motoring a reality in the Third Reich. The VW Beetle helped rescue Germany's economy twice –before the war and afterward – sparking the postwar “German economic miracle” that continues to this very day.
