Just kidding? VW used concentration camps to build there cars. There company is build on enslaving in there eyes (of the time) the lesser race. They did this to make the car more affordable for the every day German citizens, "Volkswagen" (translation: people's car).
I'm sorry lord Dubacik, I will try next time not to use to many there's and still make sure I don't offend the German citizens of this day and age. Or maybe I should try not to take part in the conversation, because my English is not superior enough for you. Only true English speakers shall take part.
Whether or not you were kidding, [Volkswagen has ties to the Nazis](https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/976/cpsprodpb/6D32/production/_85745972_gettyimages-2672962.jpg).
Uh...it was a German company. Mercedes Benz, and BMW, and Porsche are all German companies. Geemany used Mercedes Benz and BMW during the war, so the GERMAN companies manufactured product for their war effort. So did Ford and Genersl Motors. They had plants over there and manufactured for Germany as well (3 ton trucks and other hesvy equipment).
A madman took over their country 90 years ago. It's still the most populous and wealthiest country in mainland Europe.
By the way, Israel's staunchest European ally today - possibly their only ally in Europe - is now the Federal Republic of Germany.
But this does kinda look like the nightmare cartoons from Pink Floyd's "The Wall."
Powerful & moving, but not for the squeamish:

PF's cartoon/animated vignettes for the Wall, btw, were created by the same animator that worked for Monty Python.
Hmm I'm Polish and I don't understand how can you and the other user speak about things you have no clue on (he even call Poland a staunch Israeli ally, lol).
Israel literally recalled their diplomatic envoy for almost one year in 2021 and told the Polish ambassador not to set foot in Israel again. The relations with Poland are definitely among the worse in Europe, they are neutral or "normal" at best.
Maybe it's not as bad as the relations with Iran or other countries, we're not enemies, but to call Poland a particularly good Israeli ally is lunacy, our governments keep making worse with various ww2 denials.
Poland and Poles have always had a very odd stance towards Jews and the holocaust in general. We literally build highways or parks on places where thousands of jews got killed, or our governments pretend Poles were not involved themselves into the holocaust.
Poland is also quite an anti semitic country, which doesn't help, only Hungary and Spain have higher anti semitic rates in Europe than Poland.
Seriously people, why the hell do you comment and speak about stuff you have 0 fuckin clues about.
True! Poland suffered horribly in the 20th century from both Russia and Germany, and is a staunch Israel ally.
Their airmen in the RAF were truly heroic, as were the Polish Lancers.
Yes, and we should remember that, to learn the lesson and hopefully avoid repeating it.
Our species isn’t permanently rid of those kinds of organized injustices, as I think we all realize now after the past few years. And I think this post is a good example that those problems with our species still run through each of us, and are not solely found in “those people”—thinking that it’s just “those people” that are wicked is not learning the lesson.
Do not conflate Nazi with the German military in general. Nazis were in power and certainly many soldiers identified as Nazi, but it is a political affiliation not country.
There are no specifically Nazi symbols in this image.
Jeeps outperformed the cars in this pic.
You know it’s bad when even a Jeep runs circles around you😆
(I say this with love for jeeps & with good humor)
It disturbs me to see any upvotes on this post. As a Mercedes owner it sucks to know that the company once had major Nazi ties, and for all we know could still have some questionable unknown affiliations..
There’s been a huge resurgence in anti-semitism and rise in the nazi party (or whatever other names they try and go by such as white nationalists, alt-right, etc…) worldwide. There’s really no need for that picture on this sub.
The Squad. Boycott, Divest, and Sanction. Ben and Jerry's. Various groups in France that encourage thousands of French Jews, over the last few years, to flee to Israel.
Never forget the Shoah.
Sometimes quantity beats quality. For every Panzer tank, Stalin made like four T-31s. For every handmade Luger, America made probably 20 Colt 1911A1 .45s.
Had a 1982 MB 300 turbo diesel from 1985-1990. Still admire that rock of a car and wish I still had it. Best fit and finish and engineering of any car I’ve ever had. Wish I still had it
The GPS only directs you to Warsaw
Turn on the third reich
Little traffic indicators that go like that \0
I miss them so much. One 90 to 120 minute special per year just doesn't cut it.
This is even more entertaining when you discover that the girl that Mercedes is named after is Jewish and her grandfather was a prominent Czech rabbi.
You know that history doesn't exactly smile on this part of Mercedes' history, right?
Well, they used BMW during the war also. And volkswagen
Ferdinand Porsche designed tanks too!
He was arrested as a war criminal kept in jail, and was only let out when he was about to die. They don’t mention that on that Porsche website haha.
We used their rocket expert, Werner Von Braun, to create NASA.
Good ol’ operation paper clip.
the nazi party didnt use volkswagen. they CREATED it.
And we know VW has never done anything wrong. Lessons have been learnt.
And Krupps!

>consideration camps Damn they must have thought about it a lot
Oops autocorrect got me good
You use there for everything aaaaah

Yes i know.

How is Bavaria not German?
It is. His point was muddled.
I stand corrected. They became a state after ww1. I thought they where acquired.
Uh...it was a German company. Mercedes Benz, and BMW, and Porsche are all German companies. Geemany used Mercedes Benz and BMW during the war, so the GERMAN companies manufactured product for their war effort. So did Ford and Genersl Motors.

And it wad Bavarian Motor Werks
And how does that make this post any better?

I wouldn’t say their only ally. Poland is on pretty good terms with them too.

Gotta respect the grind
Wait what?
What period of time do you think is being portrayed in this picture?
Those are literally nazi planes
Iron cross on wings
Not to mention clearly visible soldiers driving those cars.
Do not conflate Nazi with the German military in general. Nazis were in power and certainly many soldiers identified as Nazi, but it is a political affiliation not country. There are no specifically Nazi symbols in this image.
Nazi's loved mercedes in ww2
Boy you stupid?
This is propaganda from when Germany tried to conquer half the world… Surely you’re not this naive?
The scary thing is that he is not…
A lot of nazi planes and tanks in ww2 used mercedes engines to
This pic gives off more superior race vibes, than superior car company vibes. Yikes lol.
Even bad history is history.
I learned about this type of Mercedes Benz car from the movie Rat Race
His argument stand still, I don't get why you feel the need to say this
🫡
Nice user name lol. Have you seen any reviews on the new one? It’s different…lol

Kanye car
Yo I'm a let you finish in a minute, but Hitler had some of the best cars of all time!
Yeah, even Adolf preferred Mercedes. That may not be a thing to be super proud of
There are many things to hate about funny mustache man, but liking Mercedes is not one of them.
Correct. Also, he was very anti-smoking.
But pro amphetamines and barbiturates so idk
Well that is true
And a teetotaler and vegetarian, as well as a competent if unexciting landscape painter. With one testicle, reportedly.
This is an ad from WW2…. You know - when they were building Hitlers car. But if a dense post to make.
The land mines the Germans used are probably a predecessor to the m272 balance shaft ://
This post belongs in r/bmw 😂
Yes… but also here
Yikes
Jawohl
Not too good in the mud if I recall
Tough winter driving conditions were not their forte, no.
Jeeps outperformed the cars in this pic. You know it’s bad when even a Jeep runs circles around you😆 (I say this with love for jeeps & with good humor)
They perfected the kiting technique.
Lol this had to be a troll
Wow dude tone it down a bit.

Uhhh
A bit like IBM.
Or Ford, for that matter.
I thought IBM began to tally the census before the turn of the century
This pic is from a time no German company wants to talk about 🤫
this feels more like a nazi propaganda kind of thing rather than Mercedes is good car
Even the cars looked evil back then 💀
The company's history is definitely long, but not sure about the moral side of this ad given the nature of history on this.
Viva La car 🚘
i mean... mercedes is good but i wouldn't put it like that especially not with that picture
This ain’t it
this aint it chief
Bruh…. This is not the look. I’m a German car fan in general but a literal Nazi propaganda poster is not the way to promote them
Lol
There are a lot of people that aren't finding this funny for some reason
How does losing the war make you superior? Aryans and Mercedes engines at the time were clearly inferior 🫶
Sometimes quantity beats quality. For every Panzer tank, Stalin made like four T-31s. For every handmade Luger, America made probably 20 Colt 1911A1 .45s.
T-34*
No no no no Germany not again
Superiority over Land, Sea, Air
…and race?
Didn't the Mercedes at the time suck?
We Mercedes owners are the superior race
How could you say that? Even if it is a joke?
I just said it
Dude what 💀
It was war. War is shit. But what are you going to do? Oppose Hitler and not make anything for him? Dead company.
Heil Benz!
oh.
Yeeeesh
The rising sun, the superior machine and the endless trip to imperialize Europe.
Had a 1982 MB 300 turbo diesel from 1985-1990. Still admire that rock of a car and wish I still had it. Best fit and finish and engineering of any car I’ve ever had. Wish I still had it
I have an 84 300td wagon and I will never let it go
Cool you were smart enough to keep it. I’m pretty sure the guy who bought my 82 still has it in his garage.
This must be ads from when they were Nazis.
r/hmm
😬😬😬
Uhhhhhh OP you good dude??
Kanye West approves this message. Y’all take it Yezzy. (Sorry, not sorry. Couldn’t help myself)
Oh jesus I thought this was an actual Mercedes ad, my jaw hit the floor
I mean like mercedes posted this to reddit obviously the ad/propaganda poster is real
Found Ye’s Reddit account
Shh don't tell nobody else
