As WWII was winding down a secret British commando group infiltrated several German rocket bases and kidnaped a number of top scientists. These men were put to work in the design departments of several English auto manufacturing firms. Their assignment was to put fasteners (bolts, nuts, screws, etc.) where it was physically impossible to get a tool on them. As one who owned 2 Jags and an Austin Healy I can attest to their success.

Those scientists married, reproduced and passed their skills on to their children. Those children now work for US automakers and have moved from hiding nuts to quality control. They too have been very successful.
