Barclays Bank was involved in the Holocoast.

IBMs punch card system helped the Nazi party as well.

Hugo Boss, Mercedes Benz, BMW, Ford, Siemens, Porsche, Audi, L’Oréal, Bosch etc...

There are Billionaires today whose family directly made money off the back of collaboration with the Nazi party with slave labour, profiteering off Jewish death camps.


Consumers just don't really care or it is in the past. I do think that these companies talking about Ethics seem to forget they are only here today off the blood of others.

My Porsche won't be getting Contintental tyres from now on!

Think you’ll find it difficult to find a German company that was in business during the war and still in business today that didn’t have links to the Nazis and the German war machine.

Yep, I'm going to ring the dealership right away to make sure my new Mercedes won't be delivered on Continentals...

Yokohama tyres produced components for the Zero fighters during WWII.

Michelin produced tyres for the Germans during WWII.

Two more off the list

I presume Davanti are okay?

Are we going to stop buying Japanese cars due to their involvement in the war?

Well the activities of Unit 731 were a tad unwholesome.

[moktabe]

Does anyone happen to know what time the next bandwagon is due?

Hope it doesn't have Continental tyres.

Thought that was Michelin?

Hugo Boss made some of the uniforms,BMW made the aero engines, and so on..even Ford trucks were built in Germany for the Wehrmacht - Ford made no money but got their factories back after the war - Most of the industrial complex used slave labour...Ferdinand Porsche was aware of the slave labour in Wolfsburg.

Further,the US lifted all of the most promising Nazi rocketry engineers back to the US after the war with no trials....slave labour there too was swept under the rug.

A grim past for most companies...Continental just the latest.
