Presentation of The Model Cars
Maj. Hirst once showed a friend a scale model of a Volkswagen Beetle that he had been presented with by Volkswagen. The 1:10 scale model, now on display in the REME Museum, was one of three made by Koch in Cologne. The second model was given to Colonel Charles Radclyffe and the third model was presented to Heinrich Nordhoff, whom the British occupying authorities appointed Managing Director of Volkswagen in early 1948.
