Documentary examining Germany's automobile industry. Historian Dominic Sandbrook examines the contrasting fortunes of the British and German car industries.

Documentary examining Germany's economic power and the automobile industry at the heart of it. Across the world, the badges of Volkswagen, Audi, BMW and Mercedes inspire immediate awe.

Historian Dominic Sandbrook asks what it is we got wrong, and what the Germans got so right.
