I'm going to say that was about 45% accurate

This is not the real story. Do your homework.

Hanomag and Ganz among others, designed either mid or rear-engined cheap cars for the German masses at least a decade before Porsche's VW.

Perhaps a re-imagination of Porsche's MB 130H which he designed earlier. Narragansett Bay

It should have been Hans Ledwinka getting the credit, not Ferdinand Porsche. If you're a car enthusiast but don't know who Hans Ledwinka is, do yourself a favour and look him up. It's worth your time.

THEY NEED TO MAKE THESE KIND AGAIN

0:38 damn that car mint AF

Where did you get this information?!!!?!!??

great car!!

I’m not gonna lie: I really want that my first car was a 1963 Volkswagen Beetle

Ever heard of Ing. Joseph Ganz ?

This is 80% BS Dr. Porsche didn't start with a blank sheet of paper - he started with the designs of Josef Ganz. In fact you could say that Ganz's designs also are the basis for all those rear engine Porsches.

Schwimmwagen? Kubelwagen? Ivan Hirst?... 2 minutes is way to short to even begin to tell about Volkswagen.

He engineer how to make a cheap Tatra

Fernand

Funny enough, hitler and porsche were both austrians

Ya herbies special😊

It's Porsche with an 'e' not an 'a'.

Two words missing from this: "Standard Superior" built by Josef Ganz in 1933.

This is 100% real no bs

Why did they stop making a good thing

Long before Hitler came to power, Ferdinand Porsche start his work on a cheap, but modern car for the masses, so Hitler did not conceive the Volkswagen, as stated in the video. Some believe that Porsche simply copied some ideas from Tatra, but tht is equally wrong. The early 1930s saw numerous rear engined cars, like the Mercedes 130 H and 170H, the Tatra. Rear-engined cars are cheaper to produce and so are air-cooled engines.

Porsche was Czech

Porsche stole the design for the Beetle from the Czechoslovakian Tatra. They sued but then Germany invaded Czechoslovakia so .....

The Real Story Of How The VW Beetle Came To Exist: TATRA V570. End of the story.

How about issuing the truth about the man who invented the prototype of the Volkswagen Beetle. Look up Josef Ganz.

1:54 Well... Unfortunately, but anyway

Come on guys, do some research... Porsche did not design the Beattle, but stole the design and lots of the technical design from Tatra.
