I blush to admit this, but part of my sinful
youth was spent as an Episcopal Cathedral
Choirboy in Pittsburgh in the 1960's.  One of the
Choir Mothers had a DKW.  We once got nine
choirboys into it, and I doubt if that record has ever been beaten.

The history of Auto Union is fascinating and has
been far more successful than that of the other
Weimar-forced corporate merger of 1926, the Zeiss
Ikon camera concern.  Both were mergers of four
companies -- note the four circles in the Audi logo?
