At that time, there was one car for every five people in the United States and one car for every 50 people in Germany. Workers go to work by bike or by bus. Hitler ordered the production of an economical car for ordinary people at a price of only 990 marks. He personally asked the engineer Porsche about the design work. If private enterprises can't produce such cheap cars, the Nazi organization "Labor Front" will be responsible for it. 1937 On March 28th, MBH Volkswagen AG (Gesellschaft Zur Vorbereitung des Deutsches Volkswagen Werk) was announced, and then it was renamed as "Volkswagenwerk GmbH" on September 28th. 1938 In what is now Wolfsburg, Volkswagen started to build a factory, which was the largest automobile factory in the world at that time.
