It would be a more cruel twist of fate if he was hit by a Porsche or VW. BMW was banned from making cars during the war.

Huh, this I did not know. I know there are military BMW motorcycles out there, but I think they were on the American side.

Yep. BMW made airplane engines during the war, hence their logo. They made a small amount of motorcycles, but they weren't allowed to make cars on Hitler's orders.

Porsche got a bit more leeway because Hitler and Ferdinand Porsche were friends. They mainly made tanks, but were allowed to make sports car side projects.

Good question

The article barely gets into detail about the actual incident and why it happened. Instead it's mostly a history of the old guys life and how the mayor or somebody pledged to reduce traffic accidents.

There's not a lot of holocaust survivors left, so when one dies in an accident it's kind of a big deal
