Hitler didn't invent the beetle, he did [supposedly] design the Kübelwagen on a napkin though which later turned into our Volkswagen Thing.

Please dont ever compare anyone to the nazis. It is a very unpleasant and serious matter that is not to be joked whith. I know a good amount about Germany and i am very consious about history when it comes to that matter.... as are most germans. They are not proud of their inharittage only of their cars.
Seriously.

very well put...+1......Germans are very ashamed of their past....their not the "flag waving patriotic" people like alot of us americans are.Germans are usually laid back and love to have a good time.....but if you were to bring up their history, they are very very ashamed.
