"he later ate his words, im sure, as the millionth Beetle rolled off the
assembly line in the late 60's, surpassing production of the Model T....."

The labor force 1941-45 provided to Dr. Porsche to do that, was
the concentration camp slave labor. They used H. Ford's "marketing"
plan, which was social consumerism. The Germans had already tried
mass producing and selling the VW but it was a failure, until they
adopted Ford's plan of consumerism. When that was initially
published, it was denied by the Nazi "press", an embarrassment
to Hitler and that entire movement.
The only way Dr. Porsche would undertake the production
project of the VW was if he could use the Jewish folks
in the concentration camps as slave labor.

We owe a lot to those "chosen" brothers and sisters for our
vanagon's. An only temporary reprieve and distinguishment
for them however.
