Coca-Cola never gave up thier german subsidiary Coca-Cola GmbH and they never willingly stopped sending syrup.

Syrup was stopped by the allied blockades. They ran out of stockpiles in 1943 and so the owner created Fanta with apple cider scraps.

The Dutch Coca-Cola plant had similar supply issues and they sent the Fanta branding up there as well but used elderberry.

After the war Coca-Cola regained their subsidiaries and the Fanta branding.

Fanta would be discontinued in 1949.

The current Fanta we know today was created in Italy in 1955 to complete with an unknown Italian PepsiCo product.
