And to think we were given the option to take the VW factory as 'reparations' in 1945 and turned it down! Mind you, it would have probably gone the way of BL in the UK's hands.

IIRC it was a British Army Major that was tasked with getting VW back on its feet post WW2 to get some energy back into the economy.

View attachment 300749Any guesses as to the thing on the front wing?

Assume you mean the red cross beetle. The thing on the wing. Some kind of downward shining side light?

Or do you mean the red porsche? Mirror?

My guess is a ducted 'snorkel' air intake, as it was designed to be an 'all road' type thing.
