The Dassler brothers even produced shoes for the Nazi Olympic Games in Berlin in 1936! What a horror! You just forgot to mention that American Jessie Owens won the gold medal in Berlin thanks to them!

They had a shoe company before and they joined the nazi partie only because they had to, to not get drafted. They were forced to do that.
