Mercedes is still doing quite well, actually. Germany is the exporting powerhouse of Europe.
But just to be clear, you would be ok with the whole holocaust thing if Germany now had the GDP (or whatever metric you want to use for "social wealth") of the US as a result?
- lloeki 13y ago> Mercedes is still doing quite well, actually. I think you meant Volkswagen Group, created in 1937 by the Nazis and backed by Hitler to create the Type 1 (a.k.a Beetle). Today, Volkswagen owns Audi, Lamborghini, Bentley, Bugatti, Porsche, Ducati, Seat, Skoda, and has a majority of shares in Suzuki. Mercedes is small fry compared do VG.
