Adolf Hitler commissioned Ferdinand Porsche to build an inexpensive car for the common people. At the time Germany was very poor so not very many people owned cars. They actually had a small tin savings bank that kind of looked like an old school lunch box that anyone could put their duetchmarks in to save up for your new car. The literal translation of Volkswagen is "Volks" - people's "wagen" - car.
