What a brilliant programme, from the equally brilliant, & intelligent, James May

Well worth watching
In common with most other people, I knew of the basic design elemetns dictated (bad pun...) by Hitler regarding what became the Beetle, but as for the (20,000 bed) Baltic resort & childrens saving tins

A pretty shrewd way of funding the German war effort.
Even got the kids involved!
Good programme though.

I just watched it and I thought it was very good. I do like James May's style of presenting.

If you have watched it, did anyone notice the 1938 build-date in the car that May was driving with the singing family

Thanks for the tip ... that one flew under my radar somehow.
