The KdF-Wagen was the first example of the Volkswagen Beetle. The Porsche designed car was due to come on stream at the brand new purpose built Wolfsburg plant in September 1939, but its creator’s bellicose activities stymied full scale production till the Allies took control in 1940. Meanwhile a small quantity of KdF beetles were made between 1937 and 1944, mostly supplied to minor officials in the The National Socialist German Workers’ Party. This Type 60 is one such, destined for the Red Cross chief in Berlin in 1943.
