Volkswagen Commercial

Sorry if this is posted in the wrong area. I just thought it was kind of strange how they play that Star Wars song "The Imperial March", in that Volkswagen commercial. Reason given, and mind you I am just speculating, that when I hear that song I think of the storm-troopers in the movie marching. Just another thought added, I think of the Volkswagen and Germany, the song and storm-troopers, then for some reason I reflect back to WW2 and think about the real storm-troopers, and Germany. I know I am going a bit strange with the correlation but just a thought.

Also, it was from 'star WARS' and correct me if I'm wrong here but Germany was involved in world WAR 2... amirite?



Also, welcome to ATS.

it wouldn't surprise me.. Volkswagen and Hitler go way back..

Do a little research into VW and Porsche. you will find obvious connections to Nazi Germany and Hitler.

This is from wiki.

Volkswagen was originally founded in 1937 by the Nazi trade union,

The engineer chosen for the task was Ferdinand Porsche

Its always downplayed though.... for obvious reasons..

maybe it's due to the fact there is a kid in a Darth Vader outfit?
