Volkswagen is celebrating the 60th anniversary of the restarting of Beetle production after World War II, reports Channel 4. The first post-war Beetle came out of the Wolfsburg factory on December 27 1945 — it was one ordered by the British military government for use in their work reconstructing the country and its industry. For a look at the history of the beetle, see: Retrospective: Volkswagen Beetle.
