Round 9: Tossup 14
Joseph Goebbels suppressed records of a type of this device developed by Jewish inventor Siegfried Marcus. Claims that he had allowed a Nazi takeover of these devices’ Opel factory were denied by Alfred P. Sloan’s memoir. Wilhelm Maybach’s company DMG produced these products, a “people’s” version of which was created by the (*) “Strength Through Joy” program. A shoddy, East German, one of these products with a 10-year wait time was called the Trabant. The Anti-Semetic Dearborn Independent was run by a creator of these vehicles who claimed his came in “any color, so long as it’s black.” For 10 points, name these vehicles produced by Henry Ford. ■END■
