But the East Germans said they really invented Coca-Cola....

Woke-a-Cola is a globalist korporation that went racist woke and needs to disappear for it. We have enough foreign enemies and don't need those who would profit from divisive lies.
Then they went "Global".
I always thought though if you were trying to hide, the enemy could pick up the smell of cigarette smoke.
Or even at night the glow from a cigarette would give away your position.
Show me one Fortune 500 corporation that isn’t a woke enemy of the Republic.
“they also gave the boys plenty of cigarettes. Everyone that came out of the service smoked.”
Addicts were less likely to surrender.
Go chicken - go cold turkey!
Coke wasn't the only company to capitalize on that strategy...
So that’s why there’s a shortage of 1 and a 1/4 liter Cokes in my area...
So what? Did you know that at one time Pepsi had the sixth largest navy in world (primarily submarines)?
By late in the war, the Nazis were having to rely on Ford for new trucks. The German owned manufacturers were bombed out, so Ford supplied the Germany army. Of course, that ended by early March 1945 when America troops overran the area
No wonder we won. The guy on the left of the picture has 6 fingers (and maybe a hidden thumb),
There was a good reason coke was made available to the GI’s on the front line in the 40’s. The recipe for Coca cola was not released until the 1970’s by the Atlanta-Journal Constitution. Part of the products in it was fluid extract of coca.
The National Institute on Drug Abuse explains that thousands of years ago people in South American began to chew and ingest coca leaves, which is the source of cocaine, for their stimulant effects.
So it not only hyped the soldiers, it improved their attitude along with it.

I think he’s holding bottle with both hands!😃
I’m always reminded of the Bill Mauldin cartoon of the
press photographer talking to the infantryman who is
holding a bottle of coke...
“Congratulation soldier, you are the 250th doggie to
pose with that bottle of coke, you may drink it.”
If he needed both hands for a 6.5 ounce Coke, I hope he wasn’t a loader on a mortar or howitzer. He’s be dropping armed shells right and left.
The “real thing”?
It wasn’t the “real thing” since they took the cocaine out.
That’s a great film. Cagney’s at the top of his game, and “One, Two, Three,” is frantic and very funny, even if some of the Cold War jokes are a bit dated. It was James Cagney’s last role before his 20-year “retirement” that ended in the early 80s, when he appeared in “Ragtime.”
