OTHER COMMS IN THE HISTORYVERSE:
it's time for shoe facts
the shoe brands adidas and puma were both formed from the dassler brothers shoe factory
the brothers were engaged in a bitter feud worsened by the stress of the war, until '48 when rudi dassler finally built his own puma factory right across the river from the adidas one
the feud, carried by their children, continued for decades, arguably until 2007 when puma was bought out by a french fashion giant
this has been shoe facts
I’ve got a mate who works for Adidas. Wearing their own products to the office is encouraged (imagine a Bulgarian prison), but wearing Puma is an instant firing offence.
Does Germany have workplace laws around unfair termination? Seems like an easy case to abuse.

Imagine going through all that, only to be bought out by the french.
How do you espouse facts in this case that don't reference Nazis?
