Rheinmetall is considering acquiring one of Volkswagen's soon-to-be idle plants, part of a broader rearmament in Europe.

      Also this kinda remind me when nazis were collecting prepays for VW beetle, but then the party bosses stole it and the only thing that got produced were kubelwagens for the army.

        So far this isn’t anything like that period in German history. Poland has been doing more than its share for Europe defense . I am glad to see Germany making so many moves to join them in taking Europe’s security seriously.

        Americans are more likely to invade Europe than help them in a conflict .
