Last spring, his own Wirtschaftswunder long since accomplished, Nordhoff announced that he would retire at the end of 1968, and in a typically efficient manner said he intended during his last months at VW "to put my house in order." He thereupon groomed Kurt Lotz, former chairman of a Mannheim electrotechnical firm, as his successor. Last week, upon Nordhoff's death, Lotz immediately took over the Volkswagenwerk...
