In 1933, after becoming chancellor of Germany, Hitler offered 500,000 reichmarks for a company to design a race car to show off the nation's technological prowess.

What the article didn't mention: "By 1945, Germany was deploying some of the most technologically advanced donkeys to move field artillery and other supplies."
