It’s accurate. Hitler engaged Herr Porsche to build the cars. It goes with his plan for the AutoBahn.

No, he laid a foundation stone for a factory, that’s a normal job for a Chancellor and for a president too.

No, he commissioned Porsche to design the car.

Both are true. There still is a difference. While an opportunist and horrible human being, I doubt Hitler would have made such a shameless spectacle like Donnie. Oh, btw Porsche also designed a tank: the elephant, later called Ferdinand after his designer.

I don't deny that he laid a cornerstone. It's the previous poster's attempt to deflect from the actual discussion I was saying "no" to.

This might have been a misunderstanding. 🙃

That's not misleading. He wanted the cars 'for the people' along with the Autobahn for his idealized fatherland. He hyped them the same way the current "fuhrer" is hyping Musk's crap (and any other crap he thinks can get him $$ & clout).

No, he laid a foundation for a factory, that’s a normal job for a chancellor. To support the economy isn’t per se bad. It’s all in the details, life’s complicated.

My family was in Silesia. Nothing Hitler did was normal. And the parallel with the current dear fuhrer wannabe and car maker is indeed apt to Hitler and Porsche.

Henry Ford was also a well known Nazi sympathizer who published a newspaper promoting Nazi propaganda.
