Was their a VW Beetle used by the Germans during WW2 with a machine gun mounted on the roof? Ne1 have pics?
Answers:
The origins of the car date back to 1930s Nazi Germany. Adolf Hitler's desire that almost anybody should be able to afford a car fit with a proposal by car designer Ferdinand Porsche (1875-1952) The intention was that ordinary working Germans would buy the car by means of a savings scheme. Prototypes of the car called the KdF-Wagen (German: Kraft durch Freude = strength through joy), appeared from 1936 onwards (the very first prototypes were produced in Stuttgart). The car already had its distinctive round shape - designed by Erwin Komenda - and air-cooled, flat-four, rear-mounted engine. However the factory (in the new town of Kdf-Stadt, purpose-built for the factory workers), had only produced a handful of cars by the time war started in 1939. Consequently the first volume-produced versions of the car's chassis if not body were military vehicles, the jeep-like Kübelwagen (approx. 52,000) and the amphibious Schwimmwagen (approx. 14,000). Deliberately designed to be as simple as possible mechanically, there was simply less that could go wrong; the radiator-less air-cooled 985 cm³ 25 hp (19 kW) motors proved especially effective in action in North Africa's desert heat.
