Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.SO WHAT did BMW do in the war? Built those motorcycles with the machine gun side-car you see careering around on all the films, for one thing. They also built large numbers of light four-wheeled drive staff cars popular with both the Wehrmacht and the SS apparently. In the air, BMW engines powered the legendary Focke-Wulf 190 fighter; later BMW provided the engine for the revolutionary Messerschmitt Me262, the jet fighter which was so successful against Allied bombers and might have turned the tide if the jets hadn't run out of fuel. Just thought I'd mention it.
