The herrenvoïk car. Birth of the Volkswagen, André Gunthert
The Third Reich decided in 1937 to launch the « people's car » as part of a policy of « motorization of the German people » ; highway construction was another aspect of that policy. Hitler and Porsche joined forces to propose to the German people the best car at the cheapest price, as a symbol of the vitality and supremacy of Nazism. The mobilization of propaganda means and of the phantasms of race and motherland made the VW a sign and symbol of totalitarian ambitions : to construct a total political representation.
