Abstract: [eng] Abstract From 1941, to 1944, acting in like manner to Daimler-Benz or Auto-Union, sought to set up a collaborative venture with Peugeot, who were in effect to be their subcontractors. This strategy failed : not only had Volkswagen arrived too late in the field, but acts of war (bombing, sabotage), together with the irrationality of the Reich's armement policy, made any form of effective and durable collaboration impossible. [fre] Résumé Entre 1941 et 1944, Volkswagen, agissant comme Daimler-Benz ou Auto-Union, tenta de mettre en place une coopération avec Peugeot, devenue en fait entreprise sous-traitante. Cette stratégie fut un échec : non seulement Volkswagen était arrivée trop tard, mais encore les actions de guerre (bombardements, sabotages), et l'irrationalité de la politique d'armement du Reich rendirent impossible toute forme de collaboration effective et durable.
