VORSPRUNG DURCH TECHNIC!

The German car giant Audi's predecessors ruthlessly exploited thousands of Nazi concentration camp prisoners and other slave laborers and forced them to work in inhumane conditions under which at least 4,800 died, a new study commissioned by the car makers has revealed. And the Union doesn't come up smelling of new car either. The so-called " Father of the German Auto Union", Dr Richard Bruhn, was an active Nazi who was given the status of a "Wehrwirtschaftsfuehrer" aka defence industry leader, which denoted the company's importance as a producer of war materials. In 1953 West Germany awarded Bruhn one its highest accolades; The Grand Cross of Merit. 
Note: It's a fact, that after WW2, the De-Nazification Program introduced by the Allies, never came across one German that ever admitted they had voted for Hitler, so I guess that's why Bruhn got his gong! (Image: Copyright Control)
