It is one of the most recognizable car brands in the world but few people know that Volkswagen began life in Germany. At the time, it was meant to be a rival for Ford which had created an affordable and reliable vehicle. The main goal for Volkswagen at the time of inception was to create a car for the masses to answer a call by Adolf Hitler to create “the people’s car.”

Years passes before the first design for the Volkswagen Beetle was submitted, but Hitler chose to go with Ferdinand’s Porsche’s design instead. Of course the Beetle would make its very successful debut decades later and become one of the most recognizable vehicles in the world.
