Germany Transforms Shuttered Volkswagen Factory Into Defense Industry Hub

Germany is converting a shuttered Volkswagen factory into a defense industry hub as the country seeks to expand military production and protect industrial jobs.

It may also require significant investment, workforce retraining and regulatory approvals before production can begin at the former automotive facility.
