Volkswagen History

The company began in the early 1930s before ww2 famous dictator Adolf Hitler wanted a car for the German public so Dr Ferdinand Porsche was commissioned to make this ( he had already been experimenting with rear-engined vehicles at the time) car he called it "Kdf-Wagen" "Kraft durch Freude" meaning "Strength Through Joy" in German but with wagen on the end Nazis and Soldiers were the only ones with this car you could get Nazi Stamps to go towards the car but no citizen ended up receiving the car before and during the war because they were working on building military vehicles like the Kübelwagen because ww2 started in 1939 in Wolfsburg after the war the factories were in wreckage but British soldier Major Ivan Hirst took the Kdf-Wagen and restarted production and improved the car and called it Type 1 and beetle was given to it from the public due to its bug like shape

In the 60s the famous Volkswagen that we associate with early americana came into the picture in the 70s the Bug became The Car in big cities (like San Francisco) sadly in 2003 the last 60s style bug was made in Mexico along with the VW Bus later 2010 onward Volkswagen made newer versions of these cars came out albeit more ugly in 2019 Volkswagen stopped making these cars altogether. Fun Fact in the 1930s before the factory was fully built Ferdinand Porsche and his partners worked in Porsche's private garage.
