needed Ferdinand Porsche just as much as Porsche needed Hitler's money.

buy a certain product is that its owner/inventor/financer hated us, then
Hitler won.  He taught us that the proper response to hate is more
hate...and I would like to think that we're better than that.

For the record, I wasn't saying that Jews shouldn't buy VW's.  My point was
the dichotomy between Jews not buying Fords vs Jews not buying VW's.
Personally I think that not buying either because of WWII is absurd.

If we were to carry the point further, many "mainstream" companies today
were pushed into wartime service for Hitler.  I believe that Siemens along
with many other well known brands produced from him.  Many, and I think that
VW and Mercedes were on this list, used conscripted concentration camp
labor.
