A 25-year argument has finally been resolved. During a
casual discussion with a group of friends about the horrors of the second World
War, I stated that Adolf Hitler might be a crazy, murderous jerk but he had his
“little” creative side in him. For instance, I referred to the fact that Hitler
was the motivation behind the creation of the Volkswagen Beatle. A friend was
however furiously argued against me and said Hitler was too much of a dumb
illiterate to motivate such a design. He went further to make a bet with me
that if I could produce any evidence to back up my assertion, he would give me
a cash of one hundred Nigerian Naira (currency). Incidentally, I could not
produce any evidence. Back then, there was no google or Wikipedia. And now,
another friend who was present during the argument has sent this picture to
everyone who was present at the gathering. In the picture (see below), Adolf Hitler is seen
admiring a Volkswagen Beetle prototype in 1938. The car was requested by Adolf
Hitler who wanted a cheap and simple car that would require no water
(radiator). The car was eventually designed and built by Ferdinand Porsche.
