The arrogance of the United States is well known to the world, but the world did not expect that the American media would also be so arrogant. Recently, the mainstream media "New York Times" in the United States began to attack the German automobile industry with a Nazi background. Whether it was the media's own behavior or whether it was ordered by the US government is unknown to outsiders. Although the current German Chancellor Schoelz obeyed the United States, the United States believed that Germany had not done enough. Is it not impossible that Germany accepts the "ruble settlement order" behind its back and does not buy American energy?
The New York Times said: "Will Germany's three most famous business families, as well as family-run companies and charities, be disconnected from Germany's proudest culture of commemoration? To understand this problem, you must understand the development background of these three major business families. All three business families have a disgraceful history, accumulating wealth and running businesses and founders that are inextricably linked to Nazi Germany. This makes the world have to wonder whether the commemorative culture that Germany preaches to the outside world is sincere, whether it is profound, and whether it can be sustained. The main thrust of this culture of remembrance is that Germany acknowledges to the world the mistakes it made in World War II and hopes to be forgiven. Indeed, this culture of commemoration has maintained a good international image for Germany from the last century to the present. In the international community, Germany's image is obviously superior to that of Japan, which is also a defeated country in World War II, because of Germany's "culture of commemoration" (culture of repentance).
At this time, the New York Times came up with this to say things, what is the intention?
On May 8, 77 years ago, the battle in The European theater of World War II ended and Nazi Germany was defeated. Today, war is raging in the same region, and Europe is hesitating over issues such as energy and food. Also on May 8, the German Chancellor delivered a televised speech in which he said that aid to Ukraine should be regarded as Germany's "historical responsibility", and Germany would not submit to either Side of Russia and Ukraine, let alone make the decision that NATO was a war party.
Coincidentally, on May 8, what was the intention of German Chancellor Scholz to make such a speech? Whether it was the sobering after several ravagies in Ukraine, the submission under pressure of the United States, or the real recognition of aid to Ukraine as a "historical responsibility", this makes one have to think about it: Ukraine is openly supportive of the Nazis, and the German chancellor chose to make this speech on May 8, is it to explore the way for the resurrection of the Nazis? This is a signal that Europe and the world must be vigilant against, will Scholz be....?
Prior to this, on April 19, the American liberal media "New York Times" also published a commentary article by Dutch journalist David de Jong as a way to "knock" Germany.
David De Jong is a contributing writer for a number of Western media, and he helped us break through the dark history of Nazism in Germany, while picking up the Nazi roots behind the three major CAR companies bmw, Porsche and Mercedes-Benz. It's all condensed in his book Nazi Billionaire: The Dark History of Germany's Richest Dynasty, which took him four years to complete.
Ferdinand's Design of the Beetle Car
In an opinion piece published by David De Jong in the New York Times, it was pointed out that the three major German business families were the heirs of vested interests in nazi wealth, but they would not apologize. The reason is simple: if they apologize, they are acknowledging that their family's wealth stems from the wealth of Nazi Germany.
The reason why Germany's economy is so strong is mainly due to the development of the automobile industry, from the 2020 German GDP data, 10% of which is created by the automobile industry. German cars are favored worldwide thanks to the industrial ingenuity and exquisite craftsmanship of Porsche, Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Volkswagen. The reason why the image of German cars has always been in a high-light state is that in addition to industrial wisdom and exquisite craftsmanship, more importantly, these car companies invest millions of dollars in marketing and advertising every year.
There are still sketches of The Beetle's car shapes from the World War II period on the market
The German auto industry has always prospered and has always made the United States jealous, and the American auto industry has died in name only, and the former prosperity of the American auto city of Detroit has ceased to exist. This time, the New York Times published such articles in order to win eyeballs, or to sing the praises of German cars and squeeze out a bloody road for the revival of the US automobile industry to create momentum in public opinion? By kidnapping German car companies and Nazi Germany to achieve the purpose of suppressing German cars, so as to take advantage of the virtual division of The market share of German cars in the world. If this is the case, Germany will encounter hard stubble, and the catastrophe is just around the corner.
Here's an excerpt and commentary on some of David De Jong's statement in Nazi Billionaires: The Dark History of Germany's Richest Dynasty:
From the origins of German car companies, their commercial success can be traced back to the Nazi period. Taking Porsche as an example, the famous German car designer Ferdinand Porsche in 1934 in order to promote his own design of the car, in order to show his talent, launched a relationship to let the German Fuehrer Hitler participate in the car show. Indeed, the model he designed attracted Hitler's admiration and approval of it, so he hit the iron while it was hot and persuaded Hitler to let Volkswagen produce the model he designed. The launch of the car was a great success, and Ferdinand Porsche became famous. His son, Ferry Porsche, was also an excellent car designer, a volunteer officer in Hitler's SS, and the founder of Porsche Motors.

After porsche, let's look at BMW. BMW almost went bankrupt in the fierce competition in the car market, and the reason why it could "come back to life" was also related to Nazi Germany. According to De Jong, BMW's founder, german industrialist Herbert Quandt and his father Günter Quandt and steel tycoon Derich Flicker, who owned Mercedes-Benz, were all associated with Nazi Germany, and thanks to the support of the Nazi German authorities, BMW was revitalized and became a popular brand in the 1930s and 1940s. It was because of its support from Nazi Germany that its founder was accused of committing war crimes in World War II. Fortunately, the Quandt family was not convicted due to insufficient evidence. The steel tycoon was not so lucky, and he was convicted at the Nuremberg trials.
The above facts, in contemporary Germany is well known, is not a secret, the Germans are more focused on these car companies the car can meet their own needs, and the origin of car companies is not interested. The Germans believe that they are the heroes of the "rebirth of the German economy" after the war, and they are deeply loved and appreciated by the people. The names of these three business families are common in German architecture, funds and awards that encourage young people to innovate.
Conclusion: Germany's culture of commemoration (culture of confession) is an example of shaping the country's image and has played an important role in gaining the trust and understanding of Germany from all over the world, especially in Europe. This is also an important reason why the European public ignores the connection between these three families and the Nazis. It can be seen that germany's three major business families will not be disconnected from the culture of commemoration, but will become more and more close, and the denigration of the New York Times will not be effective for a while and a half. Germany is still Germany, but German cars are not the same as Germany. For car companies, winning with the wisdom and exquisite craftsmanship of the automobile industry is the last word.
