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.
Tho it would be 1933-1941 in that case
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.
Just remember corpos will side with the boot if it comes to it and the current power they wield makes this situation scarier
Tesla Motors: “write that down! WRITE THAT DOWN!!!”
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.
Huh. I never knew The Associated Press censored things for the Nazis.
IBM built the punch card machines that were used to organise the Holocaust and they were a good American company.
People like to pick on German companies for this, but the truth of the matter is that finding a company not involved in an era of ultra-nationalism is going to be rare. That’s kind of a big part of how ultra-nationalism works.
capitalism adapts and survives
Not hilarious. Very much not.
IBM : Nazi Party :: Google : IDF

You aren’t wrong.

Hey, Mercedes-Benz. What do you make, BUDDY?
Tiktok is leaking onto Lemmy, and I’m here for it
