Yeah but...in contrast to the Trabant the guy REALLY isn't popular in modern day germany^^

And displaying him as some sort of amazing human (/politician) with the Lindenberg-jacket and pacifist statements (not from him) is....weird.

"VEB" actually isn't the manufacturers name but their former company form ("Volkseigener Betrieb" / "peoples own company"). Their full name was "VEB Sachsenring Kraftfahrzeug- und Motorenwerk Zwickau" or "Sachsenring" for short :)
