'IIIA-42802' was built early 1938. Chassis number 802, series V303, Typ 60CL. I guess the other car will be 'IIIA-42801', Typ 60L. |

So correctly said it's a 1938+ "KdF-Wagen". The name "Volkswagen" came later. |

"Strength through joy" That was the motto of the Hitler Youth if I'm not mistaken. That's why I would never by a Scion. THe idea of a car intended for the youth market came from Hitler himself! |

And Wolfsburg was originally Stadt des KdF-Wagens. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolfsburg |

We have few other early VW which should maybe be listed as KdF then? Check the VW listing, the last ones before the first Typ 1 in the default sorting list. |

Who would want to live in a place called Town of Volkswagens? |

It was not unusual in Germany, in the Third Reich and more in the GDR, too, to change he names of a town. The habitants weren't asked. Chemnitz was "Karl-Marx-Stadt" until 1990 (Karl Marx has never been in his life in that town) A town at the Polish border is named "Eisenhüttenstadt" ("Iron works-town"). Before its name was "Stalinstadt" And the small town Guben (at the Polish border, too) was seriously named in GDR-times "Wilhelm-Pick-Stadt Guben", because the first President of the GDR was born there. I'm still pissed, when I read addresses in Eastern Germany, where the streets are still named "Ernst-Thälmann-Straße", "Rosa-Luxemburg-Straße" and so on (all names of German communists in pre-war-times). These two are just the most popular ones. They even had "Feliks-Dscherjinskij"-streets or "Straße der Deutsch-Sowjetischen Freundschaft" until the early 90ies! I don't feel inhibitions or pain, to say nasty things to the people from that places. They had 18 years time to get rid of this bullshit. |
