Unfortunately, if my memory is correct, this did not work out too well the last time. The irony thickens when you look at the brand name Volkswagen, and how they got their start.

GERMANY – Volkswagen (VWAGY) has agreed to sell its Osnabrück plant in Germany to Israeli investor Aurelius Capital and the state of Lower Saxony, paving the way for the factory to shift from car production to defense manufacturing.
Vehicle production at the plant is scheduled to end in summer 2027. Aurelius would become the majority owner alongside Lower Saxony, with the aim of preserving the site and a large part of its workforce.
The new owners plan to develop the site gradually into a competence center for security and defense solutions. Aurelius and Lower Saxony are planning an initial anchor project with Israel’s Rafael Advanced Defense Systems in air defense, with further industrial partnerships and projects expected to follow.
The project could involve producing air-defense systems and components for Germany and Europe. About 1,400 of the plant’s 1,800 jobs could be preserved, according to labor officials. {source}

History once again rhyming…
In the forthcoming rhyme the U.S. and Russia ally to defeat Germany, globalism, the EU and NATO.
China for the win on auto manufacturing/selling climate credit garbage all because liberals are literally too wrapped up in their imaginary man caused climate issues.
After Germany keeps wrecking their industrial base for China, it looks like Canada will be next to lose car factories.
the climate has been changing for a long time. what melted the last ice age when we had global cooling 10k years ago?…..global warming…. i’m more concerned with global pollution of our land, sea and air.
What is are they going to make tanks?
Tanks have been obsoleted by drones.
The silly EU Nazis would be better off using Porsche facilities.
Dr. Porsche was deeply involved in the Nazi German weapons program in WWII.
And then for all the over-engineered, over-stressed, high maintenance, low reliability equipment that results, each and every repair step and procedure requiring a $125 special tool, it would just make more sense.
No one knows how to do with 100 parts, something that can be exactly accomplished with 10 parts, like the Germans can.
At least their tanks didn’t have four reverse speeds, like the French tanks.
I agree it’s ironic but don’t think it’s a bad thing. Germany, and in fact most of the EU nations need to up their domestic defense capability.
Looking at the history a significant proportion of the Arms for the German war machine were produced in Czechoslovakia before and during the war and of course in other occupied countries during the war.
“if my memory is correct, this did not work out too well the last time”
That is worrisome and my first thought too.
I very patiently wonder, once again, whether any European actually remembers how this sort of thinking actually turned out … the last two times?
The Russians will see this clearly. And, so should everybody else in Europe:
“The G-E-R-M-A-N-S are re-arming!”
They should bring back the basic BUG.
Hitler made an adorable, simple car for ordinary families.
Market a fuel efficient car. Forget the bells and whistles.
Weapons production for defense?
For what this is worth, this man from Australia, says :

Re tooling can not be done with the snap of a finger and Israel investing in Germany is ironic isn’t it.
