Old Beetle ad with a guy that sounds like Col Burkhalter on Hogan's heroes

Same guy?? Crazy crash tests

 

Nope. It's not Leon Askin's voice.

 

Wasn't it General Burkhalter??

 

Yes it was! I guess I demoted him!

 

Sounds more like the fuhrer himself. Ferdinand Porche designed it for Hitler and called it the people’s car. I wonder how many people who drive them know that? Or just don’t care? Not putting them down or I would be a hypocrite as I am sitting in a VW but not a Beetle. Just saying.

 

I love the leather football helmet the driver was wearing for protection!
I wonder if they put a cage in the car for that test?

 

It was left over surplus from the Panzer Division.

 

They just cut away and he crawled in to crawl out. I don't think anyone was in the car when it went over. Both doors popped open and you can see the car's body shift. Doors didn't shut after the shunt. What's with the flaming hoop in a swamp test??

 

I think he was still a Col. in the first episode, then General. Great old show!
