In 1938 Adolf Hitler commissioned the Volkswagen factory in Fallersleben to begin production on the KdF (Kraft-durch-Freude-Wagen; translating to strength through joy car) Beetle.
This one has just been listed for sale in North Carolina, USA; it’s a restored but well documented 1943 KdF Type 60 Beetle owned by the director of the German Red Cross in Potsdam-Babelsberg in Berlin with 28 723 miles on the clock (the five digit cluster may be misleading). Although it is a rare specimen, it’s asking price of $295 000 (Approx. NGN 83 Million) seems a bit high especially for a Beetle which has a questionably tainted history.
