Battle for the Beetle Battle for the Beetle
by Karl Ludvigsen
The Volkswagen was the showpiece of the achievements of Adolf
Hitler's Third Reich. Backed by the Führer himself, it struck fear into
the hearts of all who owned and managed Europe's car industry.
After World War II what was to be the fate of this odd bug-shaped car
and its colossal bomb-battered factory? Legend has it that the
victors underestimated the potential of the car that would become
the automotive icon of several generations, indeed the world's
most-famous and most-produced automobile. Ludvigsen traces the
Beetle's impact on the world of autos, from the Chevrolet Corvair and
Hino Contessa to rear-engined Fiats, Skodas and Hillmans. We learn
why the most startling decision made by VW chief Heinz Nordhoff
was not to change his car's design. And we are brought right up to
the 1998 launch of VW's New Beetle. For those who wish to
comprehend its amazing impact on the auto market, Battle for the
Beetle is the essential source
