Thanks for the kind words.

I don't want to pedantic, but the companies in those ads were founded well before the Third Reich: WMF was established in 1853, the Salamander brand was first registered in 1899 and Mercedes-Benz in 1926 (following the fusion of the Daimler company - who had held the Mercedes brand - and the Benz company).

He's at it again!
Since I've enlisted here, I must have learned something new every day.
I think Volkswagen was founded during the TR era, or is that a popular misconception?

That one is indeed correct: VW was established in 1937. Originally, its sole intended purpose was the manufacture of the KdF-Wagen. (You know, the Beetle.)
