Josef Ganz - Standard Superior
I've never heard of Josef Ganz, German/Jewish auto magazine editor and car designer. His pre-Beetle creation, the Standard Superior, looks a lot like a Beetle to me.
I've always felt compelled to defend my Bugs from their Nazi origin criticism. I'd say things like I didn't know much about the Nazi '30s but in the '60s the Hippies were anything but Nazi's.
This is a short trailer on the life of Ganz and those who are telling his story.

So now I'm thinking the concept of my Bugs were stolen and may be more Jewish than Nazi.  |
