The unbelievable story of Adidas and Puma..!!

There were two brothers named Adolf (Adi) and Rudolf Dassler.  They were the owners of a family business called "Gebruder Dassler Sports chuhfabric", which translates to "Dassler Brothers Shoe Factory". It was a successfull business until world war 2. The Dassler brothers became members of Hitlers Nazi Party. Rudolf was the most enthusiastic Nazi and he had to fight in world war 2. Adolf stayed in his hometown (Herzogenaurach), keeping the factory running. After the war, the Allies captured Rudolf and suspected him of being a member of the SS.

 

 

 

 

 

 

  At that point, Rudolf thought that his brother did this to him.The two brothers had a fight about it and Rudolf decided to leave the family business and start his own factory, called Puma. It wasn't a family business anymore, so Adi changed the name of his factory too. He called it adidas ("adi" was his first name and"were the first three letters of his last name).Since then they never got united.Now these two companies are the World's most influenced and popular companies.
