The Soviet Army had picked up the complete Opel-plant, included all machines, tools, cars, spare parts (and engineers, too) in Brandenburg/Havel and has rebuilt it in Russia. -- Last edit: 2008-05-25 22:40:10

Compare the various versions of the Hillman Avenger that appeared in South America: their origins are Argentina, Colombia or wherever. I don't see that the fact that the Russians ripped the plant off makes any difference
