"That is awesome, but how did you guys get the uniforms?" "Yeah, we knew people back in the day."

[@MisatoBestWoman]

Incredible heroics and a hell of an ad for this car The driver of that car is an absolute hero without question

[@radioactiveemissions3859]

Touching! I was born in East in that period. To much dark and pain...

[@romeoecho4]

German automobile alwaysbrings me in tears

[@MaximKuleshov]

This ad was shown to us during lessons, when I was studying marketing. That’s one of the best advertisements I’ve ever seen.

[@mihirjoshi4252]

I was born in 2004 but whenever I saw this ad I feel something in my mind some kind of past memories come into my mind and I didn't even know about this.

[@overkill1603]

This is the reason why i own one.

[@Donovan351]

And this is the reason why I need one they’re selling one in my state I need me a reliable vehicle I And nothing has changed ever since then it’s still able to ride using a motorcycle license you don’t necessarily need a fucking car license which is good for me

[@grandparocks3824]

[@jamesmylife6578]

If you think about it the bmw isetta the most luxurious Quadricycle to exist.

[@Babciakapciemciezleje]

Crappy?

[@Donovan351]

Lol that’s what I’m saying he must think that shitty Honda or whatever he drives is luxurious like BMW ever since day one made legendary luxurious cars I like to see him make something it’s always the haters that talk shit but can’t do what the original can do like seriously I’m trying to get one there’s only one in Virginia and I’m literally trying to get my hands on one these cars are totally classy they don’t make them like they used to just like clothes back then everyone dress like superstars now everyone is all sloppy the cars are shitty nobody got no class no more

This is a beautiful commercial, but the world will never forget the part BMW played for Nazi Germany during WW2.

[@randomdudeontheinternet9926]

Theu developed aircraft engines. That's it. They also don't deny their history.

[@royroy333]

@@randomdudeontheinternet9926 yes... they used jews in Nazi labor factories during the war to build those engines, real saints... and i'm sorry, but the fact they do not deny their history does not reduce their crime.

[@randomdudeontheinternet9926]

@@royroy333 want to be angry at people who weren't alive back then and don't even bother to admit the sins of their grandparents? When you go clothes shopping or buy chocolate do you make sure you see a slavery-free or ethical stamp on it as well?

[@royroy333]

@@randomdudeontheinternet9926 I am not angry, you replied and I answer. Its not about the people who were working at BMW in the 1940s, its about the company. Right now I don't have a problem with them, as much as i have with people who try to reduce what happened and sort of "let it go". BMW RAN FORCED LABOR FACTORIES DURING THE WAR, NOTHING WILL CHANGE THAT.

[@randomdudeontheinternet9926]

@@royroy333 Boi you're talking to the wrong person. I'm the last person to reduce tragedies from the past and you're trying to Jewish guilttrip the wrong person. Back in those days I would fully agree with you but none of those people are alive nowadays. You can't hold the sins of the parents against their children. Now listen here buddy. What happened during the Nazi reign was an unimaginable tragedy but it's not the first nor the last tragedy that strook humanity. Read a history book once in a while. Every country has it's own massacres and tragedies. On top of that you're still holding a grudge against a company that does not have slaves against it while litterally all those people responsible for it are already dead and the company has made a 180° turn. You also only care about tragedies that happened to the Jewish people because you obviously don't try to prevent your money from ending up in companies that actually utilises slavery to make a product. You're a hyppocrite.

you need to stay away from politics or if not you need say why it happened in the first place "WW2, people who die from bombarding from Nazi Germany airplane flying with BMW engines"

[@randomdudeontheinternet9926]

And the founder of Ford was a huge nazi sympathiser. Never stopped you from driving one, did it?
