DIECI MILIONI DI MAGGIOLINI. HITLER, PORSCHE E LA VOLKSWAGEN
The book is the story of the Volkswagen that, in twenty years (the book was written in 1967), conquered the world.
You will see a totally unknown Hitler working, fighting, hoping, failing and succeeding, very different from the stereotype drawn by politics.
You will meet Bodo Lafferentz, "the man with the magnetic gaze", who seems to levitate the factory off the ground, engineer Ferdinand Porsche, the visionary designer who was ahead of his time, "Stadt des KDF Wagens", the city created for the factory which, like this one, was built with the help of Italian workers.
Furthermore, you will travel in Rommel's Volkswagen through the battles of Cyrenaica and in Guderian's to the gates of Moscow.
And finally, after the British, the arrival of Heinrich Nordhoff, the man of destiny, the creator of a "Volkswagen Philosophy", who in twenty years would realize the dream of his predecessors.
Thanks to him, the Beetle became the most exported car in the world.
