I had no idea that a British Army Major went to Germany after the war and over saw the rebuilding of the Wolfsburg factory, and production of the Beetle and Camper Van.

Great Story:
BBC - Berkshire Volkswagen Beetle Rally celebrates VW saviour (http://news.bbc.co.uk/local/berkshire/hi/people_and_places/newsid_9030000/9030434.stm)

So its the Poms fault our cars are faulty LOL

That and cricket umpires and a ground that has the pitch swiveled so that spectators can distract the batsmen.
And a Bogan Victorian to cause all the trouble
Its all a conspiracy against us all

ROFLMAO

If your into VW history I recommend you read Small Wonder by Walter H Nelson.
Its a must read for a true Volkswagen Enthusiast !!!
