Perhaps the story is not so far fetched. GAZ means "Gorkij Automibilij
Zavodny" or translated "Gorkij Automobil Factory". The factory was moved
from Moscow to the other side of the Urals during the German invasion of
Russia and was renamed "UAZ" which I am sure most of you guys are very
familiar with. However, some products continued to be produced under the
name GAZ. I am sure that Poul, who dropped the note into our mailbox, can
tell much more about that.

Perhaps he meant the Russian-Japanese portion of WWII (over the northern
Japanese islands that Russia claimed) that didn't offically end until
far later? :) But how it would have ended up way back over in Latvia
is another story...
