No kidding!, "here's how it's going to go down, just do it!", looks rather sparse compared to big time orders and contracts of today. _________________ Rust NEVER sleeps and stock never goes out of style.

Also interesting that the credit asked for was RM 20.000.000 (RM-Reichsmarks
Nazi era money - was still post war "Zone" period) and in 1948 the Deutsche Mark
(DM; “German mark”) was then introduced in the new West Germany _________________ Hacksaw BoB

Also the devaluation of the Reichsmark. That credit loan of RM 20 million was not all that much! The Reichsmark was practically worthless.
When the curerency was reformed, I think the exchange rate was one new Deutschmark for every five Reichsmarks (which was generous). The Deutschmark itself was worth something like 30 cents. _________________ We are striving for perfection, to make our cars run forever, if possible.

I have one of the 500 red postal trailers.. the remains of it. The box was long lost and replaced by a normal open box. One day, I will restore it.
200 green open trailers and 500 read boxed trailers. Mine is nr 665. I think only a handfull of Postal trailers survived.

I have one of the Beetles on this order. Delivered late March 1946. There is only 5-6 of the original RASC British Army Beetles that have survived. |
