How did a company that exploited its own labors and make thousands of military vehicles for the Germans become one of the largest auto manufacturers in the world?
In modern day Volkswagen has become a major powerhouse, having Bentley, Lamborghini, Bugatti and Porsche under their name, but back in World War II, they were among the darkest and most criminal war factories for Germany. From being accused to stealing the design of the Beetle, to having more than 80% of their workforce being forced labors, Volkswagen could get away with anything, having been founded by a dictator and his aides themselves, it’s easy to see why.
But on the other hand, the company is also an incredible underdog success story. Once Germany was defeated and the company was left abandoned, it became an unwanted asset, not even Ford when it was offered to them for free. But even with the bleakest future, Volkswagen managed to reinvent themselves and make one of the strongest comebacks in corporate history.
So sit back and relax, because today we’re covering the controversial story of Volkswagen, starting with an unlikely figure…

    Major error regarding CVCC -- it was not for fuel efficiency, but for emissions -- to meet the new US emissions standards *without* the need for catalytic converters. As a result, Honda didn't have to add expensive catalytic converters to their vehicles for many years.

    If this didn't happen in America, he would have had people constantly taking advantage of his youth and basically relieving him of his profits. He would have been the victim of a hive mentality, levelled every so often to cure the herd of jealousy. This is why so many fail in 3rd world countries, the evidence being that so many people if not most of the population would flee to the US if given license to do so. Those in the USA, striving for it to be like the rest of the world are simply fighting for the undoing, the reversal of progress. A growing number of people in the USA are inspired by the wealthy in the worst way possible, most of whom aren't anywhere near starving. They want what this man has had in his lifetime, but they're in the perpetual frame of mind that they should have it all just before bedtime or not at all. Or else... Sadly.. These people have been allowed too much sway over politics, they are permitted not to protest but to riot and will eventually reach their goal of bringing the rest down, so that feeble mindedness only has misery to contend with. Instead of the low sense of worth comparative to others that they had inflicted on themselves. By wanting what others have, you effectively erase yourself and become a mere miserable consumer.
