Mercedes a class act
I just read in one of my car magazines about a person who visited the grave of Dick Seaman who was an englisman who drove for the vaunted preward silver arrow Mercedes team. He died in a crash racing one and is buried in England. When at the graveyard they noted fresh flowers on his grave. They asked the Vicar of the church who was putting flowers on his grave and he answered "The Mercedes factory has sent flowers to it every week since 1936". Wow!

Were they independent subsidiaries? Did they avoid bombing?

There are three Germans buried near an old POW camp in Germany. At the end of the war there was no one in Germany to claim the remains, so they went into the city graveyard.
Every year at Christmas the German government sends flowers. |
