When I worked at VW in Wolfsburg 40 yrs ago, the factory definitely did look like this. It's the east-west road along the southern end of the factory. Within that front row of buildings and entrances at that time were the stamping hall (Presswerk), Personnel, as well as the original company history office where a few selected old VWs were displayed.

Here's a photo from 1951 (notchback gallery) which shows how the trees were small. The vintage recreation shots show how the sidewalk still remains, but the main road has been significantly widened, reducing the grassy median between the sidewalk and the road.

Looks very 51 15 window. Is that ‘the’ 51 ‘15 window’ that’s around today by any chance?
