Austrian city to rename Porsche street over founder’s ‚problematic‘ Nazi past – Report commissioned by Linz says the German carmaker ‘played a central role’ in war economy, ‘actively promoted the forced labor of prisoners of war and concentration camp inmates’ | Timesofisrael

VIENNA — The Austrian city of Linz said Thursday it planned to rename a street honoring the founder of the luxury carmaker Porsche after a commission probing controversial names found his Nazi past “problematic.”
The renaming of streets and other public places is still a hotly debated issue in Austria — Adolf Hitler’s birthplace — which Nazi Germany annexed in 1938 and which long cast itself as a victim.
