Two rival global companies are based in a small town divided by a river and brand loyalty, all because two siblings fell out in World War II. What are the names of the companies, the siblings, the town and the river?

Yay Moowho! This is indeed the unlikely but true story of how a small Bavarian town came to house two of the world's top sportswear companies, Adidas and Puma. All because the founding brothers had a spat in World War II which also divided a town into two factions for 60 years until one of the brother's descendents asked the town to put its differences aside. I'm not sure if it's true but I remember hearing that the name Puma was chosen because this cat can long jump further than any other animal. Jul 31 09, 7:35 PM
