My father was a panel-beater for the Mercedes pre-war GP car |
dretceterini 07-23-2009 |
My father, who was Jewish, was a panel-beater for the pre-war Mercedes GP car team. He eventually had to leave Germany because of his religion. My mother had immigrated to Switzerland from Milan, Italy. I was born in Switzerland in 1947. My father passed away in 1980 due to cancer, probably in part from breathing fumes from the noxious "witches brew" that Mercedes was using for fuel for the cars. Unfortunately, any photos my Father might have had are long gone... Dott.Ing.Stuart Schaller Portland, Oregon, US |
