Mercedes-Benz

Mercedes-Benz is a German luxury and commercial vehicle automotive brand established in 1926. 
==History==
Mercedes-Benz goes way back to Karl Benz's first internal combustion engine in a car, seen in the Benz Patent Motorwagen in January 1886. Gottlieb Daimler and their engineer Wilhelm Maybach's conversion of a stagecoach, with the addition of a petrol engine, was introduced later that year. http://www.autonews.com/files/euroauto/inductees/benz.htm The Mercedes automobile was first marketed in 1901 by Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft. https://web.archive.org/web/20090301042155/http://www.edmunds.com/mercedesbenz/history.html 
Emil Jellinek-Mercedes registered the trademark in 1902, naming the 1901 Mercedes 35 hp after his daughter Mercedes Jellinek. At the Nice race he attended in 1899, Jellinek drove under the name "Monsieur Mercédès". In 1901, the name "Mercedes" was re-registered by DMG worldwide as a protected trademark. The first Mercedes-Benz branded vehicles were produced in 1926, following the merger of Karl Benz and Gottlieb Daimler's companies into the Daimler-Benz company on June 28 of the same year. http://register.dpma.de/DPMAregister/marke/register/390784/DE 
Throughout the 1930s, Mercedes-Benz produced the 770 model. Adolf Hitler was known to have driven in a model of this car during his time in power. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/sep/13/hitler-car-exerts-grim-fascination Most of the currently surviving 770 models were sold at auctions to private buyers. One of the cars is currently on display at the War Museum in Ottawa, Ontario. https://books.googlroberte.com/books?id=rdZgzlI31W0C&pg=PA6
By 1942, the company had mostly stopped producing cars, and was now devoted to war production. According to its statement, in 1944, almost half of its 63,610 employees were forced laborers, prisoners of war, or concentration-camp detainees. https://archive.today/20161213143534/https://www.daimler.com/company/tradition/company-history/1933-1945.html Another source quotes this figure at 46,000. The company later paid $12 million in reparations to the laborers' families. http://articles.latimes.com/1988-06-12/news/mn-7400_1_million-for-war-war-forced-labor
