Germany's economy was booming. Still is.
Some time ago, one of our forum members mentioned that since the Allies had bombed most of Germany's petroleum resources, the Germans needed a replacement for petroleum based motor oil Thus, they created synthetic motor oil for use in German war machines. That is why you and I can waltz into our local auto parts store and purchase Mobile 1 and a whole slew of other synthetics......
Mercedes created the world's first automobile, German minds created Synthetic motor oil and there exists numerous firsts created by Germans and German companies. They turn out quite a few innovative products for such a small country.
