I was working on a VW Vanagon Campmobile and the blower motor I replaced was made in West Germany. Probably not the only thing since it was pre wall fall. And I must note: I wondered if I had a photo of it, so I started in on old photo archives. And I went down fuckin memory lane for about an hour straight, lol. And I found the photo (from 2019)

No. That clearly states that the material it is made from is "Stainless West Germany", which is a type of steel made mainly from iron, west, germany, and chromium.

I was tasked with fixing a hydraulic unit a couple years back. The culprit was a Rexroth valve made in West Germany. Even had a cork gasket! I told the company that they had clearly gotten their money's worth out of that valve, as it was older than most of their employees.

I once bought a car in about 2009 and yeah the tyres held air but were dry rotted but held air, I was thinking about driving it home nice and slow and gentle.

Then I saw "Made in West Germany" on the sidewall, I called a towtruck.

Part of my job involves inspecting aircraft life vests. The CO2 cartridges and vests are reused as long as they meet the required pressure/weight. Occasionally I'll get a CO2 cartridge made in West Germany that still meets the required weight

It'd be more interesting if it said DDR/East Germany

I know Germany is knows for good engineering, but "Stainless West Germany" is vague and a bit suspicious. The steel type matters more than the country of origin.

Best Germany.

My school had a microscope that was made in USSR

I graduated two years ago. I live in West Germany.

Sorry but west germany will be forever stained

I once saw some old tools made in Germany, mind you they were from 1907. Fucken Kaiserist steel.

It's nothing crazy, but I recently ( give or take a couple years ago ) got a supposedly made in Western Germany Klann Quality tin. It's nothing special, just a red thing with stagecoach design, but it's cool despite the fact it was probably as mass produced as they could do it back whenever it was made.
