There is an interesting sidelight to the war that was observed by our troops in Germany. There was never a bombing run on any of these factories connected to our automakers and Krupp, even though they were involved in supporting the war effort of the Axis. People in high places wanted those factories intact when the war ended.
Actually, Ford and GM had very little control over their overseas divisions. The suits thousands of miles away in Detroit had far less input than the Waffen-SS officer ten yards down the hall with a StG44 did.
One of the Krupps I talked to went to the University of Chicago prior to the war to learn the latest in metallurgy to take back to Germany.
Relevant words bolded.
Any director of GM or Ford could be accused of Nazi leanings.
The only one that truly applied to was Henry Ford himself.

Since the circular error probable for a bomb run was five miles in those pre-LGB/JDAM days, your claim is garbage.

Which explains why Ford and GM got tens of millions in compensation for damage to those factories when they got bombed and/or shot up during ground fighting in the course of the war.
