Alert...I own, and really like, a Fleischmann 125-4 engine in great condition.
That said...

  For Jews and 'other' citizens described by the NAZI's as undesirables,
those were terrible times and getting worse.  I found my info on a steam
engine info site, so it is second-hand.  I kind of want to believe that the
'give back' story could be true.  I saw on TV a 'give back' story, with both
participants speaking, of a cache of gems that was saved by one (a friend) for
the owners (a Jewish jewelry firm) at the war's outbreak, and returned at the end.

  So, is it possible the Fleischmanns give-back offer was true?  If not...?
I've added a link below to my source of info.

  My college major (and personal interest) was history, mostly 20th century.  I
graduated in '75, so the studies ended with the 50's...anything later was, in
comparison, current events and not part of the 'history' curriculum.
