I recently watched a great documentary about the Yakuza (on Arte) and apparently that ritual is increasingly considered old-fashioned among the Yakuza, or what's left of them.
But that extra layer, man!
No matter how much you try to hack the word into pieces, dude: "Verschwinden" translates to "to vanish".
Enshrinkening? Moar liek "vanishing" amirite?
Everybody employed nazis after the war, including NASA. To an extent, the winners of the war silently agreed to let that slide.
Hitler was not "directly behind" the development. You make it sound like he was the lead designer, accountant and test driver. He said "I want you to develop a car that will seat four, reach 110 km/h and cost a maximum of 1000 Reichsmark" because he wanted to make car manufacturing a significant industrial branch. The reality is that it was pretty much an empty promise. People invested in shares of VW so they could eventually get a Käfer, but very few were actually built during the war.
Sloppy work like that is how you lose wars, son!
A lot of free time is great if you've got the funds to make it meaningful to you. Unemployment tends to not give you a lot of headroom in that regard.
