Wow, so naive. The Third Reich was established in 1933, WW2 started in 1939. It didn't have time to invent much or to build industry anew. 90% of the technology came from US - directly from US government or through companies like Stand

Well people are sending suspicious files to the AV vendors all the time, so Symantec may have found the backdoor a lot later and then found it existing in their DBs.

Interesting. I studied low at Harvard for two years in the middle 80s. Around 75% of my colleagues were from "yacht club" families. Maybe the things have changed since.

RavenDB - they recently switched to a new engine and did some time series related work. Send them an email and you'll probably get a few free licenses. It's a very well selling commercial product, so the risk of deprecation minima
