Was "Innenlenker" the official name ? Or...

chris40 wrote Sorry, I didn't make myself clear. Originally the VW was officially called KdF-Wagen. Innenlenker simply means the same as conduite intérieure.


...which only denotes a type of bodywork ?

According to this page Link to "www.vw38.de" the 06 seams to be the second oldest, as the oldest (number 03) is part of the VW heritage collection.

Used to belong to Robert Ley.

Ley was the head of the German Labour Force or the DAF and later made the Reich Commissioner for Social House-Building during Hitler's reign.

Under Ley's reign, the DAF had established the Kraft durch Freude or Strength through Joy, a organization that specialized in creating leisure activities for the mixed classes of Germany in the mid-late 1930s.

During the mid-late 1930s, the KdF created leisure programs, hotel resorts and cruise ships and at Hitler's request created the KdF Wagen (later known as the Volkswagen Beetle).

During the Second World War, Ley was in charge of overseeing and preparing the houses for the effects of Allied Bombings.

After Germany's surrender, Ley fled Berlin and ended up in the village of Schleching near the Austrian border where he was captured by the US 101st Airborne Division on the 16th May 1945.

At the Nuremberg Trials on the 21st October 1945, Ley was charged with Count One (The Common Plan or Conspiracy to wage an aggressive war in violation of international law or treaties), Count Three (War Crimes - including among other things "mistreatment of prisoners of war or civilian populations") and Count Four (Crimes Against Humanity – murder, extermination, enslavement of civilian populations, persecution on the basis of racial, religious or political grounds).

Three days later on the 24th October, Ley committed suicide by hanging from a toilet pipe in his cell.
