    Puma didn't exist until Hitler was dead.
    The company was formed from the ashes of Gebrüder Dassler Schuhfabrik along with Adidas by two brothers, who were both Nazis, though.

    20 German nationals died as a result of the WTC attack on 9/11. 9 + 11 = 20.

    Coincidence? I think not.

    Well, I'm not getting rid of my car, my clothes or my trainers. It's easier just to forgive the Nazis.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugo_Boss

    Hugo Boss started his clothing company in 1924 in Metzingen, a small town south of Stuttgart, where it is still based. However, due to the economic climate in Germany at the time Boss was forced into bankruptcy. In 1931 he reached an agreement with his creditors, leaving him with 6 sewing machines to start again. The same year, he became a member of the Nazi party and a sponsoring member ("Förderndes Mitglied") of the Schutzstaffel (SS).

    Though he claimed in a 1934/1935 advertising he had been a &#8220;supplier for Nazi uniforms since 1924&#8221;, such supplies are probable since 1928/1929 and certain since 1934, when he became an Reichszeugmeisterei-licensed (official) supplier of uniforms to the Sturmabteilung, Schutzstaffel, Hitler Youth, National Socialist Motor Corps and other party organizations.[SUP][9][/SUP] To meet demand in later years of the war, Boss used about 30 to 40 prisoners of war and about 150 forced laborers, from the Baltic States, Belgium, France, Italy, Austria, Poland, Czechoslovakia and the Soviet Union.[SUP][9][/SUP] According to German historian Henning Kober, the company managers were &#8220;avowed nazis&#8221;, &#8220;the Boss were all great admirers of Adolf Hitler&#8221; and Hugo Boss had in 1945 in his apartment a photograph of himself with Hitler taken in the latter's Obersalzberg retreat.[SUP][10][/SUP]
