Message:: [QUOTE="Fid, post: 1940162, member: 7724"]problem was that these people had to start at zero after they were driven out due to some articles of the Beneš decrees (especially article 108) and were not allowed to keep contact to the old working places. then there was the hostility of the Bavarian population - themslves the biggest Nazis ever.technicalwise they had to find good sources for sand and chemical elements.there was certainly a problem that their old styles were not en vogue anymore and that nobody outside Germany bought anything German anymore in bigger quantities.the biggest problem - with anything, cars, bikes, toys etc. - started fully in the 50s with the imported Asian crap. especially Japan flooded the markets with products for prices that didn't cover the production costs with the only goal to destroy foreign markets.no wonder then that it was trial and error to find new customers.[/QUOTE]
