    Which one brother was the nazi?

    Ed: I just noticed I didn’t reply to the right comment.

      Assuming this is a genuine question, the guy who started Adidas was the Nazi. His brother broke off and started Puma because of it.

        It was the other way around. Both were registered in the nazi party (not mandatory to join but there was social pressure for business owners to do).

        It’s assumed to be rudolph (the puma guy), because of his treatment by Allied authorities, and reporting that consistently characterizes him as the more ideologically aligned.

        They were both Nazis. The Puma brother split off because he suspected Adi of getting him conscripted into the army, which led to him being imprisoned by the Allies.

          Well I think they were both of the age where joining the party was compulsory, so technically he was a Nazi but I’m not sure he subscribed to the ideology. I could definitely be wrong though.
