I blush to admit this, but part of my sinful youth was spent as an Episcopal
Cathedral Choirboy in Pittsburgh in the 1960's. One of the Choir Mothers had
a DKW. We once got nine choirboys into it, and I doubt if that record has
ever been beaten.
The history of Auto Union is fascinating and has been far more successful than
that of the other Weimar-forced corporate merger of 1926, the Zeiss Ikon
camera concern. Both were mergers of four companies -- note the four circles
in the Audi logo?
