Ter's right about this one, volks..err..i mean folks.    Hitler Named it the
KdF Wagen and it was called that up thru the end of WW2..around '45 ish when
the Bristish took over the factory and got wolfsburg back on its feet and
started production again...naming it V*lkswagen  :<)

BTW, Henry Ford was offered a chance to take over the factory at that point..
but he said "what they have there isnt worth a damn"  (exact words)    and
the rest is history..
