This is a fabrication or at best, stretching the point.
In 1945,Volkswagenwerk was bankrupt and facing total dismantling until rescued by Allied intervention. Today's Volkswagen did not really exist until 1948, when founded as a trust. If you're going to blame its post-war people for things in which they did not take part and/or over which they had no control, why not start with Major Ivan Hirst?
(which would be equally as silly)
