I especially dig the necessity to bring up Adolf Hitler. As if that has any relevance AT ALL.

Especially when we know that the problem isn't even specific to VW, with many manufacturers accused of the same thing.

If anyone really wants to learn more about what happened here, I can't recommend more the 33c3 talk "Software Defined Emissions," which tells you a ton more than this clickbait hack journalism could ever.

The technical details of Dieselgate in 32C3 talk [0]. Highly recommended. At around 3260 secs. the famous acoustic function is revealed.

I hope Silicon Valley or Mr Robot steals "acoustic function" for use as a plot device of hiding something nefarious in your codebase.
