This is a record of the Beetle's early evolution, chronicled by an English teacher who spent 20 years digging through untapped sources, including archives he discovered at Porsche. The book covers the period from the Porsche expose of 17 January 1934 until July 1945, with the first lists of experimental and test cars by Porsche in Gmund, Austria.
