Adolf Hitler and Volkswagen

  • Description

    Bigup to Calm for the Beetle.

    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.

    Sentado en una mesa del restaurante en Munich en el verano de 1932, Hitler diseñó el prototipo de lo que se convertiría en el gran éxito de diseño del escarabajo de Volkswagen (literalmente, el "coche del pueblo '). En una época donde sólo los más económicos coches de elite poseía, Hitler creía que todas las personas deben ser capaces de poseer un coche y, además, cree que un diseño inteligente podría permitir la fiabilidad, el disfrute, y los viajes de vacaciones. El nombre dado al coche en 1938 fue de Kraft durch Freude (KdF-Wagen, literalmente "fuerza a través de coche alegría ').

    Hitler dio su diseño para el jefe de Daimler-Benz, Jakob Werlin, y destacó su importancia. "Llévelo con usted y hablar con gente que entiende más sobre él que yo. Pero no lo olvides. Quiero saber de ti pronto, sobre los detalles técnicos.

    @rukowski: He met Porsche and informed him that the government's plans for mass mobility called for a car that apart from being affordable had to meet criteria concerning range, speed, cargo etc., and that any who came up with serious plans to create such a car would receive government funding. Porsche then presented a beefed-up version of what they already had and received said funding.
    Other than that, Hitler was mostly involved in watercolor painting, genocide, and bad hairdo ;)

    @NichtRaucher so what was Hitler involved in?
  • Fiddler
    NichtRaucher 11.3.2011
    Bunch of blank pages indeed, but none on this particular issue ;)
    Your Strip description implies Hitler was involved in the Beetle's invention and design - he was not.

    @NichtRaucher History at school in Germany must be fun....all those blank pages !!!!
    In 1933, Adolf Hitler gave the order to Ferdinand Porsche to develop a Volkswagen (literally, "people's car" in German)

    umm. Yeah. The Beetle was developed, starting in the mid-20s, by Ferdinand Porsche and a hungarian engineer (don't remember the name). The third-reich's contributions consisted of financial support as part of a plan to attain mass mobility.
    If this was supposed to be funny, I kinda missed it.
