The Untold Story Of The Volkswaffe
Posted by Ross Rosenberg
In the history of secret weapons programs and government cover-ups, none is so chilling as Germany’s Volkswaffe program. It was begun sometime before the 1936 Olympics in Berlin, under the guise of producing a cheap, reliable automobile for the common man. Instead, Ferdinand Porsche’s bulbous design was used in an effort to produce an agile, lightweight fighter car for use as an elite airborne unit in Hitler’s plans to bring Europe under his control; a squadron of death-dealing Herbies emblazoned with the Balkenkreuz.
Seen here for the first time are documents, declassified footage, and eyewitness accounts of an unknown chapter in German aerospace history, and a testament to the extent of Nazi ambition and hubris. For the first time, the story of those madmen who attempted to build a car that would touch the sky will be told; and hopefully those who would attempt the same will take note, lest history be repeated.

I have one of those cars. Why did nobody tell me it can fly?
First thing tomorrow I’m taking this puppy to the sky.

Punch Buggy Yellow seems a lot more sinister after seeing this…

There must be some lost footage of the sister project, the Volksunterseeboot. Our local simulations with rebuilt versions of these feared fast attack subs have proven fruitless. They won’t submerge.

Oh Puleeze… I have to fix my friggin’ eyeglasses. I read “Volkswaffle” ancd i thought you were somehow mixing Nazi with carbohydrates. But the, hey, what was expecting me was way much better…
Anyway they look like the crazy flying cars in GTA Vice City. And that can’t be bad.

“Balkenkreuz”?I believe you mean “Hakenkreuz”, there, fella.
In other thoughts:
Fahrvehrgnuberalles.
Vergeltungswagen.
and… wait for it…
Cars built for the most important race of all: the Master Race.
