&quotAll of the typewriter makers in Germany suffered to some extent from the devastation of the Second Planet War. Most had been converted, in component or in total, to armaments production, and had been targeted throughout the conflict. All re-tooled and started making typewriters again as quickly as possible.

When Germany was split following the war, West Germany was in posession of Olympia, Adler and Triumph East Germany was in posession of portion of Olympia (which was renamed Optima Buromaschinenwerke in 1950), Groma, the Rheinmetall plant, and the former Seidel &amp Naumann plant which had made Erika machines prewar, and other people. The East, like the West, immediately made plans to restore its manufacturing base to get cash flowing, and typewriters have been naturally included as it was effectively recognized that there was an extreme shortage of these machines everywhere.&quot
