For those who are interested in the real and actual history of the company, and origin of the name VolksWagen, I would highly recommend this book:

"Small Wonder: The Amazing Story of the Volkswagen Beetle"

by Walter Henry Nelson

It is a fascinating read, and easily dispels many grossly incorrect myths, that live on to this day.
