Description

De zoektocht naar Josef GanzIn februari 1933 liep de joodse ingenieur Josef Ganz (1898 1967) direct achter Adolf Hitler over de Berlijnse autosalon. Ganz presenteerde daar zijn Volkswagen de kleinste maar meest innovatieve auto van de show. Hitler was enthousiast, maar gaf uiteindelijk aan Ferdinand Porsche de opdracht om het concept door te ontwikkelen voor massaproductie. De Volkswagen werd de auto van de eeuw, maar de joodse Ganz werd door de nazis uit de geschiedenis gewist.

In februari 1933 liep de joodse ingenieur Josef Ganz (1898 – 1967) direct achter Adolf Hitler over de Berlijnse autosalon. Ganz presenteerde daar zijn Volkswagen - de kleinste maar meest innovatieve auto van de show. Hitler was enthousiast, maar gaf uiteindelijk aan Ferdinand Porsche de opdracht om het concept door te ontwikkelen voor massaproductie. De Volkswagen werd ‘de auto van de eeuw, maar de joodse Ganz werd door de nazi’s uit de geschiedenis gewist. Auteur Paul Schilperoord reisde de wereld over op zoek naar het archief dat Ganz in 1934 uit de klauwen van de nazi’s had gered. Op basis van zijn research verscheen in 2014 Het geheim van Hitler’s Volkswagen dat ook in het Engels, Duits en Portugees werd vertaald. Onlangs kwam de documentaire Ganz: How I Lost My Beetle van regisseur Suzanne Raes uit. Deze werd zeer goed ontvangen. In dit vervolg op Het geheim van Hitlers Volkswagen, neemt Paul Schilperoord de lezer mee op zijn jarenlange zoektocht naar de bedenker van de Kever. Hij stuit in een Oost-Duitse schuur op de volksauto van Ganz uit 1933; in Zwitserland heeft hij emotionele ontmoetingen met Ganz’ familieleden; in Australië ontdekt hij Ganz’ complete privé-archief. Samen met Ganz’ achterneef, restaureert hij de voorloper van de Kever. Zo onthult Paul Schilperoord in De zoektocht naar Josef Ganz, een schat aan nieuwe gegevens en onbekend fotomateriaal. Voor het eerst worden de unieke foto’s van Adolf Hitler gepubliceerd, die Ganz van dichtbij maakte op de autosalon van 1933. De zoektocht van Schilperoord naar Josef Ganz en zijn Kever, een geschiedenis van geniaal technisch vernuft, intrige en spionage, lastercampagnes, economische crisis en de opkomst van het fascisme, leest als een thriller. Paul Schilperoord (1977) werkt als techniek- en wetenschapsjournalist en als industrieel ontwerper. Hij schreef voor onder meer NRC Handelsblad, VPRO Noorderlicht, De Ingenieur en een aantal buitenlandse bladen. Dit is zijn vierde boek.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Perfect for My Suit-Loving 9-Year-Old 🤍👔✨
My 9-year-old is obsessed with suits, and this one was a total win! 😍 The 3-piece set (blazer, vest, and pants) makes him feel so grown-up and confident. The linen material is lightweight and breathable, which is perfect for warm weather ☀️ — and it doesn’t wrinkle easily, which I appreciate as a parent 🙌. He loves that he can wear it different ways — full suit, just vest and pants, or blazer and pants. 👌 The fit looks sharp, and the adjustable waist is super helpful. Perfect for weddings, school events, church, or any time he wants to dress to impress. 💙 Definitely a favorite in our house! 🎉

Adorable special occasion suit for boys
Size: 5, Color: Light Blue, Size: 5, Color: Light Blue
I ordered this 3-piece suit for my son and even though it’s currently a little too big for him, I couldn’t resist keeping it because it’s absolutely adorable! The quality really impressed me right out of the package. The fabric feels lightweight and breathable, which will be perfect for warmer weather, and it has a nice polished look without feeling stiff. The set comes with a blazer, vest, and pants, and each piece is very well made. I love the little details like the lapel on the jacket, the adjustable strap on the vest, and the adjustable waist on the pants, which will definitely help as he grows. It looks like a much more expensive suit than it actually is. Even though my son will have to grow into it, I’m already excited for him to wear it. I’m thinking it will be perfect for Easter next year or any special occasion. It’s such a cute outfit, and I love that the pieces can be mixed and matched for different looks. Overall, I’m really happy with this purchase and can’t wait to see him wearing it! The blue color goes well for any occasion and I may have to order my husband a suit in matching shade of blue so they can be twins. The size looks accurate for boys 5T. I took a picture to show the pants next to a pair of unwashed Oshkosh B’Gosh brand straight leg 5T boys denim jeans.

I’m so impressed with this **boys' linen summer suit**! 👔🌞 It’s the perfect outfit for warmer weather while still looking sharp and stylish. The **linen fabric** is lightweight and breathable, making it ideal for those hot summer days. My son looked fantastic in it, and he was comfortable all day long, which is a big plus! The suit fits **true to size**, and the cut is modern yet classic. The **jacket** has a great, tailored look without being too stiff, and the **trousers** are just the right fit—not too baggy or too tight. It’s a very **polished** look for events like weddings, family gatherings, or holiday parties. I also love that the **color options** are vibrant and fresh, perfect for summer. The suit is **easy to care for**—I was worried about linen wrinkles, but it’s held up well after a few washes, and the fabric still looks crisp. Overall, this **boys' linen summer suit** is an excellent purchase for any special occasion or just to make your little one look extra sharp during the summer months. **Comfortable, stylish, and durable**—highly recommend! 🌟👔
