@旁白 : 波尔舍是两次世界大战中最有生产力的工程师之一,他致力于恢复德国的民族自豪感,并设想胜利的第三帝国的未来。希特勒的‘人民汽车’计划为波尔舍提供了机会,让他能够重振事业并获得认可。波尔舍设计了符合纳粹‘雅利安人’审美观的‘人民汽车’,并成功获得了希特勒的支持。然而,波尔舍为了与希特勒保持良好关系,将犹太裔合伙人罗森伯格排除出公司,这体现了纳粹的‘雅利安化’政策。战争期间,波尔舍被任命为坦克委员会主席,但随着德国战局恶化,他的地位下降。战争结束后,波尔舍被法国当局逮捕,并被指控犯有战争罪。 @理查德·豪斯曼 : ‘人民汽车’的设计目标是让全德国人民都能拥有汽车。它不仅要满足希特勒的愿景,还要为普通雅利安家庭提供足够的空间。 @约翰·贝利 : 1937年,波尔舍的赛车参加了在英国举行的唐宁顿公园赛道大奖赛,这在当时是英国赛车界的一大盛事。波尔舍和梅赛德斯-奔驰组成的‘银箭’车队在比赛中表现出色,这向世界展示了德国的工程技术实力。 @狄特·兰登伯格 : 战争期间,‘人民汽车’工厂生产了大量的飞机零件和其他军用物资。工厂使用了大量的战俘劳工,许多来自东欧和苏联的战俘被迫在这里劳动。
