That whirring sound...















...is Lenin spinning in his grave.
While General von Rundstedt's tanks, powered by Daimler-Benz engines, never quite made it into Moscow in 1941, the tri-bladed logo of Mercedes now triumphantly flies over the city.
Amazing what sixty years will change, isn't it?
When I stood in front of the Berlin Wall in 1969, I would have bet you any amount of money that it would not have come down in my lifetime. I'm sure any good Communist would have taken the bet, too...
