Saturday 29/10/11 4pm EST on History channel, show titled Heil Herbie, the blurb says it's about the origins of the Beetle.

Watched this show, split beetles for as far as the eye could see. Some classic old VW adds and an interview with Ivan Hurst probably the man responsible for the Beetle surviving.

There was plenty of historical film there......really worth watching. Bet VW sales were slow for a while in Poland and Holland.

i WATCHED IT TOO...

VW were trying to play down that VW was started by Hitler..

all beetles made during the war were called prototypes even though they were mass produced...

Most workers at VW during the war were slave labourers

great pics of the autobahn and wartime beetles with hitler in one...

Hi all,

I missed the show, mainly because I don't have fox

Anyway, here is a link to it on youtube. It's in 5 parts and you will have to find the next chapter after watching this first one.
