Dave,

Good point about the Ben Pon thing. It's clear Hitler had a lot to do with
VW itself but that title is a bit misleading. Then again had Hitler not
pushed for VW then the bus may never have been. I guess it's a point of view
kind of thing.

Sort of ironic that arguably the most evil person of modern times started
something that eventually produced a vehicle that became a staple of the
peace and love movement less than 40 years later.
