Well, to say that the Volkswagen was originally Hitler's idea may be giving Hitler more credit than he is due. Professor Ferdinand Porsche was the one who was primarily responsible for the development of the Volkswagen. In The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, William Shirer does say that the Volkswagen ("The People's Car") was a "brainstorm of the Fuehrer himself":

Every German, or at least every German workman, (Hitler) said, should own an automobile, just as in the United States. Heretofore in this country where there was only one motorcar to every fifty persons (compared to one in every five in America), the workman used a bicycle or public transportation to get about. Now Hitler decreed that a car should be built for him to sell for only 990 marks - $396 at the official rate of exchange. He himself, it was said, took a hand in the actual designing of the car, which was done under the supervision of the Austrian automobile engineer Dr. Ferdinand Porsche.
Since private industry could not turn out an automobile for $396, Hitler ordered the State to build it and placed the Labor Front in charge of the project. Dr. Ley's organization promptly set out in 1938 to build at Fallersleben, near Braunschweig, "the biggest automobile factory in the world," with a capacity for turning out a million and a half cars a year - "more than Ford," the Nazi propagandists said. The Labor Front advanced fifty million marks in capital. But that was not the main financing. Dr. Ley's ingenious plan was that the workers themselves should furnish the capital by means of what became known as a "pay-before-you-get-it" installment plan - five marks a week, or if a worker thought he could afford it, ten or fifteen marks a week. When 750 marks had been paid in, the buyer received an order number entitling him to a car as soon as it could be turned out. Alas for the worker, not a single car was ever turned out for any customer during the Third Reich. Tens of millions of marks were paid in by the German wage earners, not a pfennig of which was ever to be refunded. By the time the war started, the Volkswagen factory turned to the manufacture of goods more useful to the Army.

So, was Hitler responsible for the Volkswagen, or was it just a monumental plan to fleece the German worker with the dream of a "People's Car"? I guess that depends on your perspective.

As for perspective on the Armenian genocide, it's a subject that is discussed often in newspapers here in California, always from a viewpoint that is sympathetic to the Armenian cause. I've never heard of any attempt made here to suppress information about the genocide. There are many large and prosperous Armenian communities in California - maybe that's why.
