Description: Most VW histories describe the pre-World War II development briefly then rush on to the post-war years. this book, however, tells the story of those early years in great detail, with never before published photographs toillustrate the development of this beetle-shaped car and its military and competition offspring, including tracing the links to the early Porsche cars. The Kubelwagen and Schwimmwagen are fully described, as is the remarkable streamlined car Porsche designed for the never to be run Berlin to Rome road race. It is a fascinating story, and well told, so that every motoring enthusiast will enjoy it and every VW fan must buy it.
