If actual Hitler worked on a project should we all just use that project even though Hitler made it?

It's called Volkswagen, one of the biggest car manufacturers in the world.

    Touché. However the VW of today is vastly far-removed from VW during WW2.

    In fact the only reason VW exists post WW2 is because of a British army captain who wanted to get the factory up and running and build some cars. He thought the design of the beetle was inexpensive, practical, and cool.

    (Interesting sidenote, the designs of the Beetle were offered to British carmakers, who rejected it, stating that nobody would want a car so cheap and devoid of luxury. The Beetle went on to be the most popular car in the world.)

    Continuing the analogy, VW is more like a fork of the original VW project started by the Nazi party.
