    Except for Leitz (aka Leica), who hired German Jews and posted them abroad in “sales”.

    Better off not asking most American companies around that time either.

    It’s worth noting that the nazis were probably not very kind to company owners and employees who refused to heil. It’s easy to be virtuous 80 years later on social media without ever living in a totalitarian society.

      Also, a lot of German companies from that time that are still around are very much aware about their past and don’t shy away about acknowledging their role if it comes up. Naturally not very proudly so.

    JP Morgan Chase, Ford, Bayer, etc. Nazi Germany was incredibly popular with the extraction class.

    Genocide of “undesirables,” forced labor camps, endless wars of conquest, human experimentation, etc. Being completely untethered to humanity and allowed to do anything for a price is the ultracapitalist dream.

    IBM built the punch card machines that were used to organise the Holocaust and they were a good American company.
