Default WIFO

I think Bart settled on the WIFO Fords as heavy trucks that were assembled 'in secret' after normal shifts. I can imagine that licenses were requested and taken up, judging by evidence that I found from GM in Germany pre-war records. The problem was one oif settlement of licence fees, and these may have never been paid unless a barter arrangement was set up, or, as I suspect, the components were delivered to Antwerpen/Anvers plant and then railed across the border. I have ample evidence that GM achieved this with Opel and GM Continental [just across the basin in the docks from Ford Belgium].
