At any price below 1000 marks ($250),â€ laughed Hitler as he ordered the inauguration of the Volkswagen project in the late summer of 1933.The scene was Berlinâ€™s Hotel Kaiserhof where Hitler, meeting with Germanyâ€™s most famous automotive engineer, Dr. Ferdinand Porsche, was outlining plans for a â€œpeopleâ€™s car.â€ Hitler wanted, for the German worker, a car that would travel the autobahns, at reasonably high speed, provide gasoline mileage in the 30 to 35 miles per gallon class and be simply constructed and inexpensive to repair.
