How The Nazis Drove Out Porsche's Jewish Cofounder | Forbes

Since the 1930’s, Porsche has developed a globally respected brand known for speed, luxury and mechanical engineering of the highest levels. However, there is a dark part of the German company’s origin story that has largely been obscured by time and deliberate effort - that one of its cofounders and primary financial backers was Jewish and ousted by the Nazi government.
This is the story of Adolf Rosenberger and how he helped build one of Germany’s most famous car companies, only to be forced to flee to the United States after the Porsche firm became profitable.

    At least Mercedes admits they've been the bad guy in their Museum in Stuttgart. I've been to BMW (München), Audi (Ingolstadt), Mercedes last year and to Porsche Museum this year, and they almost don't show a thing about Adolf Rosenberger, just barely speck of his contribution to history. They really don't show him not even today the respect he deserves. It's all Ferdinand and his children that they show. Disrespectful.

    as seeing the video has been up for over a year, there are others of Mr. Anton Rosenberger. In Gran Turismo they show nothing about Mr. Rosenberger as the Co-Founder. It's a whitewash of the true historical facts of Porsches founding fathers. this short video gives a short history, it's best to do a full history search on the man the get the bigger picture! I will make a decal with his name and add it to my car to show my support for his true history!

    I worked for IBM for 12 years. IBM sold all the tabulating machines that Hitler used to keep track of all those interred in the Concentration Camps. As well, GM and Ford subsidiaries in Germany built Nazis military vehicles. Capitalism has no conscience and those that run the vast majority of corporations are no different.
