Thanks guys,

A nice addition came a few weeks ago in the shape of some documents relating to the celebration of the 100th year anniversary of the Ludwig Loewe company in the 1960s. Contrary to what many believe, the Loewe company survived the nazi era and was re-established in 1945 after being forced to merge with AEG during the war.

Around the end of the 1960s a number of struggling German tooling companies were forced to merge, including Loewe. This merger formed a company called DIAG (Deutsche Industrie Anlagen GmbH). DIAG still exists today.

Another booklet to be added to the list is that of the 175th anniversary of Mauser, dating from 1987.
