VW was revived after World War 2 and the Wolfsburg factory was offered by the British to several foreign car makers, but all rejected it as a project doomed to fail.
Volkswagen was created in 1936 but its origins go back to 1925, when an 18-year-old student, Bela Barenyi, submitted chassis designs for a ‘volkswagen’, which translates as ‘people’s car’. And so the Beetle was born. Plans were put in place in the 1930s, under the orders of a certain Adolf Hitler, to create a basic vehicle that could transport two adults and two children at 62mph. But it didn’t, and the Beetle was soon followed by the Type 2 (VW Camper) and Karmann Ghia sports car.
