You guys did not read my post very carefully. I said that Hitler "took credit for" the design of the Beetle. It's a fact.

You also will not find anything that I wrote that indicates that this has anything to do with my not wanting a modern VW. You guys are reading too much into what I am writing. You didn't even focus on the important part about history repeating itself. This is much more important than the car you wish to drive. Takeover of the auto industry? Takeover of the banks? Takeover of health care? It's not the Germans or the Japanese that I'm worried about.

I read the book Small Wonder while at an Army Kaserne in Ludwigsburgh, Germany in the spring of 1969. I was reading about the buildings that Hitler let Dr. Porsche use for the development activity. I realized that those buildings were right across the street from where I was sitting. They were at that time a US Army Motor Pool. Yes, I'm quite aware of Hitlers involvement, it had nothing to do with design as he claimed, but everything to do with funding.

You guys need to lighten up.
