Guys, that particular "Ferdinand Porsche" (who designed a couple of tanks, and the "Peoples Car" that we know as the VW Beetle) died in the 1950s.

His son was also named Ferdinand Porsche, though he generally went by "Ferry". He died a decade or more ago.

This was his grandson, also named Ferdinand Porsche, who went by "Butzi" early in his life, and "F.A." later on.

If you're going to piss on someone's memory because of stuff his grandfather did, you might as well hang yourself for what your ancestors (and mine) did to the Indians, the Chinese, the Irish, the Africans, and so very many others.
