Hitler is as essential a part of the foundations of today's VW Corporation as the Doric columns of the Parthenon are to the impact of its sculpted friezes. Just after taking power in 1933, Hitler made an announcement at the Berlin Auto Show that he intended to create a "people's car" the average German worker could afford. (Dr. Ferdinand) Porsche had been spending part of his time for over a decade trying to interest the auto manufacturers he worked for in creating an inexpensive auto, including Daimler-Benz, Steyr, and Mercedes, and he had made little progress. Now he asked for a meeting with Hitler. But Hitler was to be no silent partner. Whether or not the early sketch by Hitler of the car The New York Times was to call the "beetle" in 1938 was Hitler's design, or Hitler's rendering of a design by Erwin Komenda, the specifications were clearly Hitler's.They included several requirements that did not make Porsche's job any easier- the car had to carry two adults and three children or three soldiers and a machine gun; it had to be able to operate at 100 kilometers an hour; the engine had to be air-cooled; fuel consumption would have to get 10 kilometers for every .8 liters of fuel; and the price must be less than 1.000 marks, roughly the price of a motorcycle at the time.http://oregonmag.com/AdolfsBug.htm
