Congratulations, Mercedes… But you don’t have to lie, right?

The German factory celebrates its 140 years of history, but falsely insists that it was the creator of the car

Did you invent it? Sort of (Photomontage: Gabriel Fernandes | AutoPapo)

Mercedes-Benz is touting the 140th anniversary of the creation of the automobile from Karl Benz’s patent for his motorized tricycle in 1886. Is it true? No, it’s a lie.

SEE ALSO:

The Benz and Daimler factories joined Daimler-Benz, which to this day produces Mercedes-Benz automobiles. Two more years before Benz, the Frenchman De La Mare de Bouteville patented his combustion car.

Fifteen years earlier, the German Jew Siegfried Marcus created a combustion engine transport cart in Austria. The proof of the lie is that Daimler-Benz asked the Nazi regime to remove the name of Siegfried Marcus as the inventor of the automobile from German encyclopedias.

Since neither the French nor the German Jew had factories to perpetuate their products, there was no one left to contest Mercedes-Benz’s lie. Mercedes.
