A (not so) Serious Look at East Germany's Most Popular Car

In my very first video essay (complete with subpar microphone quality and horrendous attempts at humor) I explore the history of East Germany's most popular vehicle: The VEB Saschenring Trabant. While some (perhaps unfairly) consider it to be the worst car in the world, it provided affordable, reliable, simple transportation for millions and served as escape vehicles for families leaving East Germany near the end of the Cold War. With all of this in mind, the Trabant certainly has a very unique legacy.

Thanks for watching!

P.S. I would recommend reading my pinned comment, as I do have some regrets about how I characterized certain things in this video. Thanks!
