One from the category of old cows out of the ditch. Not all the sons of Adam Opel had just as fresh political ideas.

Adam Opel, the founder of the well-known German brand, had five sons. These were Carl (or Karl), Wilhelm, Heinrich, Friedrich and Ludwig. Since the Opel Adam have the Germans a thing to bring new models to their founding fathers to mention.

Another example is the just-announced Opel Karl. Or General Motors plan is to make the whole row of sons to go down is unclear, but that there was once a Opel Wilhelm is going to come is not in the line of expectation. This descendant could, in fact, been members of the Nationalsozialisten, and was also a staunch supporter of the regime.

That may be so, but it should be clear that Opel is not the only German car brand that link is to the club of Adolf Hitler. Stronger still: any of the existing major Germanic manufacturers has in no way had anything to do with the nazis?
