There were two brothers in Germany running a business. During the second world war one of them had to go fight the war. There were rumors of his death. Later he returned to find that his girlfriend had married his brother. Infuriated he started his own company competing with his brothers' company. Identify the brothers and their respective companies (still in operation today)

Its adidas and puma , but its nothing like you said
Quote:
Both brothers joined the Nazi Party, but Rudolf was slightly closer to the party. During the war, a growing rift between the pair reached a breaking point after an Allied bomb attack in 1943 when Adi and his wife climbed into a bomb shelter that Rudolf and his family were already in: "The dirty bastards are back again", Adi said, apparently referring to the Allied war planes, but Rudolf was convinced his brother meant him and his family. After Rudolf was later picked up by American soldiers and accused of being a member of the Waffen SS, he was convinced that his brother had turned him in.
Q This word is derived from the 1960 film La dolce vita directed by Federico Fellini. One of the characters in the film is a news photographer played by Walter Santesso. In his book Word and Phrase Origins, Robert Hendrickson writes that Fellini took the name from an Italian dialect that describes a particularly annoying noise, that of a buzzing mosquito . What am i talking about ?
