German families in the 60s loved tasty, cheap American-raised chicken that was suddenly coming in after the war. And Americans were loving fun, cheap Volkswagen Beetles. This arrangement was too good to last.

This episode was reported by Robert Smith and Sonari Glinton. It was produced by Frances Harlow.
