I think the British passed on VW as war reparations because they thought it was worthless

This is when they were first informed that the IMS bearing would not be in the new design. That guy in the middle has one heck of a suntan.

Interesting statement as one of these people is Ferdinand Porsche

Despite the mysticism of the brand and the cars, let's not forget that Ferdinand Porsche was a card carrying member of the **** Party and quite possibly a member of the SS (allegedly).

So please let's not mix the admiration for his cars with his membership and support of a regime whose horrors and atrocities are well known... and for that may he burn in hell!

I think the picture(s) are pretty unique as well - I've seen them before, though.

I had a feeling as soon as I saw them there would be some controversy over it. It's interesting how Seinfeld is able to look past it...

How long should a memory be? Five years? Twenty five? Two Thousand and five?

I think everybody agrees that Hitler was a monster but a guy like Jerry has too much love for the heritage and the cars produced to let it get in the way of his passion for the brand.

Bruce, it's my heartfelt belief that there should be no statue of limitations on atrocities and the people who in one way or another helped carry them out. To do so would make us loose the reference and the horror that should keep us from repeating those same or similar aberrations again.
