A court in Hamburg ruled that the grandchildren of a German industrialist have a valid claim to a classic Mercedes car worth about $4 million that was taken by U.S. soldiers during World War II.
Hans Prym, the owner of a manufacturer of buttons, zips and other clothing fasteners that is still in the possession of his family today, kept the car in Stolberg, close to the Belgian border. Known locally as the “Zipper King,” he purchased the car -- one of the most expensive models available at that time - - in 1935.
