    Don’t ask Mercedes what they were doing between 1934 and 1945.

    And BMW, and Krupp, Hugo, Bayer, blah, blah…. Yeah. Any industry that could industry produced for the Reich.

    I’m not saying that to be “everyone was doing it,” but wondering why the need to point out what historically is well known and definitely not a secret.

    Was it actually a communist car? Trying to sift through info online it looks like it was made by west Germany, which I associate with the western postwar powers, but I really dont know much about any of this

    Anyone know if it was a particularly good car?

    The deisel one is well known for being quite reliable and easy to keep running for a very long time. Also known for being very well built.

    They were built like tanks. But they drove like tanks too.

    I lost the gas cap for one. The guy at the parts store laughed at me when I asked for a gas cap for a Mercedes, then he looked through the book said "Oh" and grabbed one from the shelf that had five of them on it. It's the same cap as tractors use.
