People’s Car
The Nazis made a gieat hullabaloo about the “People’s Car,” which was going to be a State-produced* vehicle for the German family. — Workers paid five marks a week for it and'received glowing promises of the great strength-through-joy-riding days to come. General Goering took their money and built one of the world’s greatest armoured car factories out of their savings. Now that the war has come, all pretence at making the people’s car has been abandoned. But the prospective purchasers must still go on paying. When they have subscribed the full purchase price they are given a free ticket for the car after, the war is over. MORAL: The almonds of life come to those without teeth—but if you happen to be a Nazi you don’t even get the almonds.
