Decks of cards. There are so many different combinations possible in a pack of 52, that if you were to pick up a deck of randomly shuffled cards, you are almost certainly the first person to hold those cards in that order.
Yet in fourteen matches, using 14 players in each match, Karel Freye managed to invent more different formations than the shuffled card fact*
The Panzer 35(t) tanks used by the nazis in Poland, France and Russia were built by Skoda.
Wasn't the original VW engine actually a Czech one that the Germans acquired ?
Yes, Tatra cars built an air cooled car in the 30's that looked similar to the Beetle. I believe they had an on-going patent legal claim that only went away when Germany invaded Czechoslovakia.
In 1961 Italian artist Piero Manzoni sold 90 tins of his own shit for $31 each. A shit storm broke out in the art world when one of his collaborators claimed the tins were actually full of plaster. No one has opened a tin to check because that would destroy its value. Going by latest sales, the tins are currently worth just shy of £200,000.

You can get the Heinz version much cheaper. It's called London Grill!
