The Nazi's would like to have you think that the name Volkswagen was thought up by Adolph Hitler and the car was designed and created by Ferdinand Porsche.
Josef Ganz is the inventor of the Volkswagen, he started designing the Volkswagen back in 1923 and in 1933 he displayed the "standard" Volkswagen at an Auto Show where Hitler the New Chancellor opened the show. Hitler took interest in the car (you can actually find footage of this online) and ended up stealing the design. Due to Hitler and the use of properganda the Nazi's wrote Josef Ganz out of German History.
