Just another example of the love for detail and historical accuracy by the devs.

Look at the marked advertisement. Just out of curiosity i have looked for the street in google maps, and guess what. The funeral parlour still exists to this day. Just the fact that they exist (or others listed in the newspaper existed at that time) in real in the first place, shows how historical accurate and detailed WOFF is.

ODB could use this also for "real life" sponsoring.

Well, this Brand still exists:


This one no longer:

The Company Dallmann still makes Sweets, but the Ingredients of "Dallkolat" were Dextrose plus something, that is no longer allowed ;-)

Actually quite a few companies or brands still exist from those days. For example Persil, the laundry detergent being marketed on that same page. smile

Here's one to chew on after a successful mission. It's good for your teeth and digestion and adds enjoyment to a smoke! I'm sold.

The connecting rod out of my brain, my brain,
From out of my arse take the camshaft,
And assemble the engine again."
