Yes, Henry Ford had Nazi sympathies. But VW was literally founded by the Nazis:
> "Volkswagen was established in 1937 by the German Labour Front (German: Deutsche Arbeitsfront) as part of the Strength Through Joy (German: Kraft durch Freude) program in Berlin" [0]
> "The German Labour Front (German: Deutsche Arbeitsfront, pronounced [ˌdɔʏtʃə ˈʔaʁbaɪtsfʁɔnt]; DAF) was the national labour organization of the Nazi Party, which replaced the various independent trade unions in Germany during the process of Gleichschaltung or Nazification." [1]

Besides, both Mercedes (as Daimler-Benz) and BMW made Nazi tanks during that time.
All those brands are now squeaky-clean.
