Default Audi & the symbologist Dr. Rex Curry expose swastika symbolism

The Audi and the Volkswagen logo expose the swastika as intertwined "S"
shapes symbolizing "Socialism" for the monstrous National Socialist German
Workers' Party. The Volkswagen logo is described in greater detail at the
following web pages, and the Audi logo is described below.

Today, Audi is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Volkswagen Group.

Germany in the 1930's often used symbols for letters and words. Common
symbols under the National Socialist German Workers' Party often used the
"S" shape, including the side-by-side use in the "SS" Division and the
overlapping use in the swastika. The German word was not "swastika," but
"Hakenkreuz" ("hooked cross" or "armed cross").

Hitler was aware of the practice, and perhaps the source of the practice, in
that he evolved "Adolf Hitler" into "S Hitler" in his own signature.
http://rexcurry.net/bookchapter4a1a4.html It was a manner of declaring his
socialism every time he signed his name and it was equivalent to signing
"Socialist Hitler."

It is part of growing evidence that supports the discovery by the historian
Rex Curry (in the book "Swastika Secrets") that the Hakenkreuz, although an
ancient symbol, was used also to represent "S" shapes for "Socialism" and
its victory under the horrid National Socialists. For additional proof of
the use of the "S" shapes of the "sieg" runes see a newly discovered youth's
book at http://rexcurry.net/bookchapter4a1a3.html and posters

http://rexcurry.net/swastikaflags.html and for a fuller explanation see

The National Socialist German Workers' Party began in 1920, and achieved
electoral breakthroughs in 1930, and dictatorship in 1933.

In 1932, Audi, Horch, Wanderer and DKW combined to form the Auto Union (AU).
They adopted four rings as their logo, one for each of the founder
companies. All four companies were based in Saxony, and together they could
cover the whole motor-vehicle market from motorbikes to luxury cars. Audi
concentrated on the sports side, Horch on producing luxury vehicles,
Wanderer (whose auto division had been bought in a hostile take over) on
small to medium cars, and DKW on small cars. DKW was the main brand,
producing around 80% of the conglomerate's cars, and only narrowly being
beaten by VW (Volkswagen) to producing Hitler's 'people's car'. The acronym
"DKW" originated from "Dampf Kraft Wagen" (steam-driven wagon).

This 4-circle badge was used, originally, only on Auto Union racing cars in
that period while the member companies used their own names and emblems.
Often, the 4 circles contain the original symbols of Audi, Horch, Wanderer,
and DKW. Wanderer used a wide winged "W" letter; Horch used a large "H"
letter; DKW used the letters "DKW"; Audi used an inverted triangle and the
number "1."

The leader of the National Socialist German Workers' Party had determined to
make German automobiles into world leaders, in order to promote his
socialism. Hitler regarded racing as an integral part of this, and
consequently 500,000 Reichmarks in government subsidies were pledged to make
Mercedes the leading race team in the world - Hitler was a fan of Mercedes.
AU sent a senior delegation to Hitler and persuaded him that having two
competing racing programs would be better than one. He agreed to split the
government money between Mercedes and AU. Although AU earned themselves the
enmity of Mercedes, an enemy they could never hope to match in terms of
size, they also won themselves an opportunity to make their name in the
racing world.

Ferdinand Porsche had already done some work for Wanderer, before setting up
his own consultancy in the wake of the Government-created depression and
crash of 1929. Porsche had a car design, but no customers for it. AU signed
him up.

Audi still uses the German tag line "Vorsprung durch Technik." The tag line
is used either in original or in its English translation "Advantage through
Technology." It is an odd reminder of socialist clichés from the 1930's
such as "Kraft durch Freude" ("Strength through Joy" and "Kdf"); Schönheit
der Arbeit ("Beauty of Labor"); "Arbeit macht frei" ("Work brings Freedom").
The "Strength through Joy" program was part of a scheme to provide holidays
to workers at inexpensive rates, and was related to the "Beauty of Labor"
office. When the early VW versions were introduced, Hitler abruptly changed
the name of the car to KdF Wagen. The word "Volkswagen" itself meant
"people's car" (cf. "folk's wagon"). Near the end of World War II many men,
both young and old, were called upon to serve in the "People's Army "
(Volksturm).

Those clichés led to the socialist Wholecaust (of which the Holocaust was a
part): 62 million slaughtered under the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics;
35 million under the Peoples' Republic of China; 21 million under the
National Socialist German Workers' Party. It was the worst slaughter in
human history.

On November 27, 1933 the "Kraft by Freude" organization was subordinated to
the German Labor Front (DAF). The Kdf was intended to direct the leisure
activities of the German population.

The goal of all KdF programs was to eliminate social inequalities and to
create a large German community, in which everyone should have the same
rights to recovery and relaxation independently of class and income. The
allegedly unselfish and idealistic Kdf program was a refined socialist
strategy to seduce individuals into socialism.

Before WW II, The National Socialist German Workers' Party was aided by the
German Labor Front (DAF), a socialist group that built cars. The logo for
the DAF was a swastika (Hakenkreuz) surrounded by the gear shaped emblem or
cog of the socialist group. The National Socialist German Workers' Party
had begun as the "German Workers' Party" before adding "National Socialist"
to its name.


To control trade unions and the economic workforce, the National Socialist
German Workers' Party (the National Socialistiche Deutsche Arbeiter Partei -
NSDAP) created the German Labor Front (Deutsches Arbeitsfront - DAF) in
1933. The purpose of the German Labor Front was to control the German labor
unions through a centrally controlled organization led by National
Socialists. The German Labor Front adopted a paramilitary structure similar
to that of the National Socialist German Workers Party. While membership
was called "voluntary," essentially every German worker was required to be a
member. This was particularly true of those workers associated with prime
industries such as cars, transportation, utilities, textile trades, armament
manufacturing, legal services, agriculture and the like (in other words,
just about everything of course). The organization was divided into two
parts including the National Socialist Factory Organization
(Nationalsozialistische Betriebsorganization-NSBO) and the National
Socialist Trade and Industry Organization (Nationalsozialistische Handels
und Gewerbeorganization-NSHAGO).

Members of the German Labor Front were required to own and wear uniforms
that denoted their status within the structure of the organization.
Following the outbreak of war, members were often required to serve as
factory guards or to volunteer for membership in associations like the
National Air Protection League (Reichsluftschutzbund) and other Air
Protection (Luftschutz) groups. In this capacity, it was their job to help
protect industrial facilities as well as to coordinate with outside
organizations that helped to ensure the safe operation of factory
facilities. Many members of the German Labor Front also served as official
members of the Factory Police (Werksschutzpolizei-WSP). By 1942, the German
Labor Front also organized independent and locally trained members who
volunteered to operate anti-aircraft flak batteries to protect individual
factories from Allied bombs.
The Audi company traces its origins back to 1899 and August Horch. The first
Horch automobile was produced in 1901 in Zwickau, in former East Germany. In
1910, Horch was forced out of the company he had founded. He then started a
new company in Zwickau and continued using the Horch brand. His former
partners sued him for trademark infringement and a German court determined
that the Horch brand belonged to his former company. August Horch was forced
to refrain from using his own family name in his new car business. As the
word "horch!" translates to "listen!" in Old German, August Horch settled on
the Latin equivalent of his name - "audi!". It is also popularly believed
that Audi is an acronym which stands for "Auto Union Deutschland
Ingolstadt".

The company is headquartered in Ingolstadt, Bavaria, Germany.

Thus "Audi" is obviously related to the word "Audio" and is also related to
the Spanish word "Oye" as in Carlos Santana's hit song "Oye Como Va" (Listen
how it goes) and is related to the call of the bailiff in the United States
Supreme Court "Oyez! Oyez!" ("Hear ye! Hear ye!" at
http://www.oyez.org/oyez/frontpage)

Where the old Audi A6 had an intelligent expression underscored by a smiley
lower air intake, the new grille (which echoes the Auto Union racers under
National Socialism) has been described as "....a Rottweiler of a thing. With
its battering-ram snout, chrome fangs and suspicious eyes, it's just itching
for you to spill its pint and make you pay the consequences."
