Interesting to note the differences in opinion, insofar as one's financial interests. VW employees, stockholders, and Eurocentrists obviously feel hurt by the damning expose. The story is an interesting one, and really has nothing to do with the US or Europe, but corporate greed and toxic corporate culture.
Hitler was low hanging fruit that was leveraged to influence public opinion and outcomes. Hitlers unfortunate connection to VW will be notable forever, that will never go away - it is still recent history. The corporate culture at VW lent itself to comparison.
US regulators and NGO's aren't particularly nationalistic, contrary to popular opinion. Europe is widely seen as having more stringent regulations. Any US corporation that endangers public health will be met with comparable outrage, but this story is about VW.... in Wolfsburg.
