If Germany had won....

...we'd be converting these:




This is an image from a 1941 poster entitled 'Nazi Paleo-Futurism'. The full poster is below. Apparently the text translates as follows:


What new things will the technology of tomorrow bring?

Today still a venturous plan - tomorrow maybe reality

Technology and economy in the Greater German Reich have gone into an unexpected upswing. The largest network of Autobahn highways has been constructed in just a few years, whole new industries were created and great architectural and urbanistic tasks are about to be realised. Although the war, that was forced upon us, makes it necessary to concentrate our economy on the war efforts, the great plans for the buildup are drawn with the certitude of our victory in mind. Many keen inventions and many thoughts that still seem fantastic today will then be realised. The pictures in this poster show on which branches the engineers are working today and what the technology of tomorrow will bring.

Took me a while to work out what this meant...but yes, you're right - especially as 'Windsor' is a completely invented name and the family is in fact German in origin.

I worked at Perkins Engines for a while, and the factory I was based at was called the 'Sentinel Works' - The Sentinel being Perkins' first product - a steam-powered, chain driven truck - quite possibly what you remember seeing. Having said that, those vehicles that ran on gas that they made themselves weren't steam-powered - they were usually standard petrol-powered vehicles that had been adapted to run on wood-gas, produced on-board by burning charcoal. This was quite commonplace right across Europe and Japan towards the end of the war, due to the scarcity of petrol.
