I know they don't like to talk about, but is it not common knowledge?

Yeah, and I'd say that VW wasn't the worst industrial company to live on after the war. Let's consider Bayer, for example. They did pharmaceutical experiments at Auschwitz and Dachau, were part of IG Farben (the conglomerate that supplied Zyklon B to the SS) and continued to make money with shady business after the war. Like, "manufacturer of Agent Orange" levels of shadiness.
