Wow... so today's "special" relationship between Germany and France dates back quite a ways then... GDR is (or rather was) the German Democratic Republic a.k.a. East Germany.
That takes some of the Gallic one-ness away from Peugeot.. hmmm maybe I won't ride my PX-10e tomorrow as planned... don't tell me I am going find GDR stamped somewhere on her?
