...business and an endless capacity for work. On a seven-day week, with only a few hours off for sleep, he started with 7,000 workers, and, after weeks spent clearing the rubble, began turning out the prototype bug designed before the war by Ferdinand Porsche. The product, he knew, was "a poor thing, cheap, ugly and inefficient." Its engine would expire after 10,000 miles, its brakes and springing were atrocious...
