German Labour Front
Compounds in which "Volk-" translates to "populace" or "nation" include "Volksentscheid" (plebiscite, literally "decision of/by the people") "Völkerbund" (League of Nations). The somewhat obsolete meaning of the common people, "hoi polloi", working class is visible in the brand name "Volkswagen" "people's car", historically a name chosen by the German Labour Front in 1937 for a car designed to be affordable to the "common man".
