Adolf directly encouraged Ferdinand Porsche in the manufacture
of the "Peoples Car"...the Volks Wagon [purportedly after a study
of early Chrysler Airflow &  Lincoln Zephyr designs].

Other than that, I didn't know Adolf made any cars :)

Ok you're right ..like many brilliant men he was not without faults
Nor were those in charge of General Motors during Hitler's reign.
If you dig deep enough, you will find there is much to embarrass
many companies and Governments.

Your other comment doesn't deserve a response, at least not a serious one.
I guess you were feeling a little left out since no other auto manufacturers
name has the history and achievements of Ford. :)
