Well if you need another reason to avoid the car company started by Nazis here it is.
Founded by Nazis, but abandoned during the war and revived by British army officer Ivan Hirst whom both saw the potential for turning it into a workshop and building new vehicles for the British occupation forces.
After the war it was used by REME (Corps of Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers) to repair British army vehicles, and it was used to build new vehicles. It was handed over to West Germany in september 1949.
The company as we know it today therefore effectively has more British roots than Nazi ones.
Traded Nazis for Brit Imperialists.
Some Nazi downvoted you. Fucking Nazis.
