curious half-track
The AFV ASSOCIATION was formed in 1964 to support the thoughts and research of all those interested in Armored Fighting Vehicles and related topics, such as AFV drawings. The emphasis has always been on sharing information and communicating with other members of similar interests; e.g. German armor, Japanese AFVs, or whatever.

sorry for General Patton, he isn't in the top 3


He is not even among the top 5, adding to the list

4. General Dynamics
5. General Lee (the Dodge Charger 1969 RT from Dukes of Hazzard)

(Sorry for General Lee, from the US Civil War)

General Motors

Was Continental a German or a US firm before the 2nd WW


I have been searching and Continental has been and still is an German company

The actually name is Continental AG and it was founded in 1871 in Hannover, Germany

From what I could find, they did not go to the US untill 1987 when it bought an US tire manufacturer called General Tire
(I think all US companies start or end with General Mr. Green )

At the present time it is part of the German Scheaffler Group, known in Europe for INA roller bearings

The largest truck suppliers for the German Wehrmacht where actually American companies


Probably best not to actually bring this up.....


I must ask as to why this has to be hushed up?

isn't it a fact, or are we suppose to suffer from a selective memory ?


No - its just that it starts the same old arguements -rather like the topic of british lend-lease repayments......

This brings me to the following question. Was Continental a German or a US firm before the 2nd WW? This because I've seen German tanks from the 2nd World War with rubber around the roadwheels with the name ''continental'' on it.

I remember that I was very surprised about this.

Just a question, nothing more!!

Valid point. The triumph of business interests over other considerations. As long as this thread doesn't take an ominous political swerve, there is no harm in acknowledging history.
