Doll & Fleischmann History

This was interesting to read as I had always thought that it was Fleischmann that was the Jewish company.

Does anyone have any deeper in depth links to read?

There is a very sad and likely very incomplete history of the Doll / Fleischmann transition to be found on Ventix's website.

Fleischmann und Doll Dampfmaschinen und Antriebsmodelle
ventix-pages.de




He also includes links to a Trix website that appears to have a very parallel history shown for that company, which seems to include Bing.




Then there is also this highly personalized account from a granddaughter that was written just a couple of decades ago.

Toy Electric Trains and the Holocaust
jewishmag.com




He also has a link to David Curtis's webpage which apparently once held some significant historical information, but with David gone sooooo long now, that link leads nowhere!

Hope this helps some.
