==Controversy in Porsche's birthplace==
Following protests from local World War II survivors that Porsche's birthplace Maffersdorf in Austrian Bohemia, now Czech [[Vratislavice nad Nisou]], was promoting Nazism by displaying signs commemorating its native son, in 2013 the town authorities removed the signs and changed the content of a local exhibition so that it would cover not only his automotive achievements, but also his Nazi party and SS membership, and the importance of his work for the Nazi war cause. The move was criticized by the local association of Porsche car owners as silly and intent on smearing the name of Porsche.<ref name="bloomberg">{{Cite news|work=Bloomberg|url=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-11-26/porsche-s-nazi-past-prompts-protest-in-czech-birthplace.html|title=Porsche's Nazi Past Prompts Protest in Czech Birthplace|publisher=Bloomberg|date=26 November 2013|access-date=22 December 2013}}</ref> Moreover, Porsche AG removed cars that it had previously provided for the museum.<ref>{{cite web|author=Jan Mikulička |url=http://liberec.idnes.cz/porsche-petice-nacista-ss-nsdap-muzeum-pamatnik-zid-fhx-/liberec-zpravy.aspx?c=A131216_123742_liberec-zpravy_ddt |title=Porsche si odvezlo z Vratislavic svá vystavená auta.
