The Volkswagen logo exposes the swastika as intertwined "S" shapes symbolizing "Socialism" for the monstrous National Socialist German Workers' Party, and provides more proof in support of discoveries by the noted historian and symbologist Dr. Rex Curry. http://rexcurry.net/bookchapter4a1a2a.html

Many people forget that the word "Nazi" is a syncopation for "National Socialist German Workers Party." The group's actual full name indicates Nazism's clear affinities with collectivism.

Germany in the 1930's often used symbols for letters and words. Common symbols under the National Socialist German Workers' Party often used the "S" shape, including the side-by-side use in the "SS" Division and the overlapping use in the Hakenkreuz - swastika. The German word for "swastika" is "Hakenkreuz" ("hooked cross" or "armed cross").

Hitler was aware of the practice, and perhaps the source of the practice, in that he evolved "Adolf Hitler" into "S Hitler" in his own signature. http://rexcurry.net/bookchapter4a1a4.html It was a manner of declaring his socialism every time he signed his name and it was equivalent to signing "Socialist Hitler."

It is part of growing evidence that supports the discovery by Dr. Rex Curry (in the book "Swastika Secrets") that the Hakenkreuz, although an ancient symbol, was used also to represent "S" shapes for "Socialism" and its victory under the horrid National Socialists. For additional proof of the use of the "S" shapes of the "sieg" runes see a newly discovered youth's book at http://rexcurry.net/bookchapter4a1a3.html and posters http://rexcurry.net/bookchapter4a1b.html and more posters at http://rexcurry.net/socialist-propaganda/posters1.html and German medals at http://rexcurry.net/socialism/germany.html and flags and banners at http://rexcurry.net/swastikaflags.html and for a fuller explanation see http://rexcurry.net/swastikanews.html

Another rune, the Odal rune, was used as a symbol of the "Wiking Jugend" (Viking Youth, or Viking Young'uns). The Volkswagen symbol then emulated the popular runes its alphabetic symbolism, as discovered by Professor Curry..

The original VW logo was not "VW" but the swastika / Hakenkreuz. http://rexcurry.net/swastika-vw-logo1.jpg

The VW was known as the "swastika hubcap" car. The early versions and drawings actually had swastika hubcaps, just as the older versions had "VW" hubcaps. Some people believe that the VW hubcaps resemble the swastika at certain speeds of rotation.

Hitler used the Volkswagen for his socialist propaganda. The swastika was within the original cogged-wheel (gear) symbol that later had the "VW" letters placed within it. The "VW" letters replaced the original meshed "S" letters in the later VW symbol.

Volkswagen's iconic buttressing of V and W was the creation of an engineer named Franz Reimspiess. He was also the same man who perfected the engine for the Beetle in the 1930s.

Nikolai Borg, 86, who now lives in Austria, says he was involved in the development of the VW logo. The young commercial artist impressed others when he won the competition for the creation of a logo for the "Deutsche Jugendherbergswerk" (German youth mountain hostel work?). Borg says that he was invited to draw the car logo in a request from high-up: Dr. Ing. Fritz Todt, with the "organization Todt" the general inspector for roads and a militarily organized building troop used in the entire theater of war. Borg made nine drafts with different connections of the letters V and W before the final version was created.

In photographs, Nikolai Borg shows that the VW logo was created simply by replacing the two S letters of the swastika with the two letters V and W. http://rexcurry.net/volkswagen-vw-beetle-nikolai-borg-swastika.jpg

Literally, the word "volkswagen" means "people's car" (cf. "folk's wagon"). When the early VW versions were introduced, Hitler abruptly changed the name of the car to KdF Wagen. KdF stood for "Kraft durch Freude" which meant "Strength through Joy." The name-change upset Porsche, as he was not a member of Hitler's Nazi-Sozi party, and he didn't support Hitler's use of socialist propaganda to advertise the car.

Of the original KdF name, Hitler said: "It bears the name of the organization that has done the most to fill the broad masses with pleasure and therefore strength. It will be called the 'KdF-Wagen.' "

There were many other socialist clichés. The "Strength through Joy" program was part of a scheme to provide holidays to workers at inexpensive rates.
It was related to the "Beauty of Labor" (Schönheit der Arbeit) office. The phrase "Arbeit macht frei" ("Work brings Freedom") glared at concentration camps.

Born out of sinister intentions, the VW Beetle was propaganda for German socialists in helping create unity in pre-war Germany. Hitler imposed socialism in the car market and pushed the project.

The Beetle was the brainchild of Dr. Ferdinand Porsche, a freelance automotive designer and constructor. In 1930, Porsche set up an automotive design company, the Porsche Büro. In 1933, Adolf Hitler met with Porsche to discuss the socialist leader's idea of a volkswagen.

Porsche drew inspiration from the success of Henry Ford's creation of the mass-produced Model T. It is unfortunate that the Volkswagen went down the road of socialism, instead of the road of capitalism and the free market blazed by Henry Ford.

The leader of German socialism gave the project his whole-hearted support, and became directly involved in plans for the car's production. By 1938, several early production cars had been constructed and production facilities had been built.

In 1939, the National Socialist German Workers' Party joined with the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics as allies to invade Poland in a pact of military socialism to divide up Europe. The Second World War ended passenger-car production plans, and the Stuttgart factory was converted to military use.

Only later, after the Volkswagen was towed from socialism and driven by capitalism, would it meet its modern success.

Adolf Hitler in New York Times article that first appears November 21, 1922 (and foreshadowing Dr. Rex Curry's historical discoveries)

You might enjoy this commentary about the first article concerning Hitler to appear in the New York Times (NYT) Newspaper (the information is from a new book by the author Ian Tinny about the work of the historian Dr. Rex Curry):

The really extraordinary part of the article is that the terms "Nazi" and "Swastika" do not appear in it. That is because the "Nazis" did not call themselves "Nazis" and they did not call their symbol a "swastika," and the New York Times had not launched
its current policy of covering up those facts, and its current policy of covering up the fact that Hitler's supporters called themselves "Socialists" and called their symbol the "Hakenkreuz." The NYT's article (November 21, 1922 by Cyril Brown) exposes
facts that the NYT covers up in modern articles about Hitler including the following quotes from the NYT's article of : "His followers are nicknamed the 'Hakenkreuzler.' " And this: "Hitler's 'Hakenkreuz' movement is essentially urban in character." The
NYT article uses a form of "Hakenkreuz" four times in the article and never uses the word "swastika." The NYT article never explains the term "Hakenkreuz" nor "Hakenkreuzler" (was that because the term was well-known in 1922? Or did the NYT not want
readers to know why Hitler's socialists used that nickname?). As Dr. Curry explained, "Hakenkreuz" means "hooked cross" because, for Hitler's socialists, it was a type of cross and was used to represent crossed "S" letters for "SOCIALIST." The misnomer "
swastika" was substituted for "Hakenkreuz" to cover up German socialism's origin in American Christian Socialism, via Francis Bellamy (author of the "Pledge of Allegiance") and his cousin Edward Bellamy (author of "Looking Backward" -the origin of the
National Socialist movement). Current policy at the NYT is to libel a foreign symbol (the swastika) in order to cover up the truth about what German socialists called their symbol (Hakenkreuz or "hooked cross"). It is related to the NYT current policy to
cover up the USA's Pledge of Allegiance as the origin of the Nazi salute and Nazi behavior (another one of the amazing discoveries of the historian Dr. Rex Curry). The pledge continues to be the origin of similar behavior even though the gesture was
changed to help the NYT hide America's past. The pledge is central to the US's police state and its continued growth.
