For everyone's information: The name Neger refers to the inventor, Richard Mohr (in German 'Mohr' is an old fashioned 'polite' term for negro). And by the way: Mohr, or 'moor', referred to dark skinned Arabians: Shakespeare's Othello, or the Moor of Venice, was not a negro - just a man of colour. The name is just a historical fact, nothing political or fascist about it. Criticising history from today's point of view or way of thinking is very easy, and cheap. And by the way: the boat was all black. The Marder was a later development of the neger. Wikipedia and Goodle Images will give you all the necessary information.
