Hitler commissioned Dr. Ferdinand Porsche Sr to produce a "people's car" much like Henry Ford's "Model T", specifying that the car was to be affordable by the average working man. Dr. Porsche and a team of engineers (including his son Ferry Porsche) fulfilled that commission, working together to fulfill Germany's National Socialist requirements. They met Adolf Hitler at many business events but Hitler was not involved with the actual design of the automobile.
Pictures of Hitler riding in the Kampfwagen show he was not real impressed with the People’s Car. For one thing it wasn’t close to being capable of 100 mph. For another, it looked like a beady-eyed bug. But, it was superior to the US Greencar, which will have its radio welded to a station that plays Algore’s dire tipping point emergency speeches 24/7.
