We're talking about the old East Germany here, the DDR. As I understand it RFT was a large state-owned enterprise which had a number of operating subsidiaries amongst which production responsibility was divided. WF was one of these, based in Berlin at the Oberspreewerk, at least during the 1960s when it made nixies and dekatrons amongst other things. If you search German Wikipedia there's quite some background covering origins and evolution of the factory - Google Translate will help you out with the language if needed (which needless to say it was for me!).
