Volkswagen were and are manufactured in Wolfsburg, Germany. This factory town, which was completed in 1939, did not receive its name until after the war, but Nazis officials long before 1945 had it in mind to name the city Wolfsburg in honor of Hitler's code- and nickname. In June 1945, Nazi sympathizers among local officials formally decided on the name Wolfsburg, or Wolf's Castle, and the Volkswagen company created a stylized wolf and castle arch design for the hub of the steering wheel.
