30 He outright helped the Germans during WWII.

A friend invited me to attend a speech given by William F. Buckley Jr. (I didn't even know who he was then) at Stegman Coliseum on the campus of UGA in DEC 1976. Seems like there were maybe 200+ students in attendance. After WFB's speech (I remember nothing about the content) he entertained a Q&A session. I specifically recall 1 student challenging him by declaring that Henry Ford supported Adolf Hitler during WWII. WFB flatly denied it. The student politely disagreed by saying "I guess we will have to agree to disagree". WFB simply said "Yes."

What I have found in my studies of history is that huge corporations and banks have no loyalties or scruples in times of war. If they can profit from both sides they will. And they always have. WFB was wrong and the student was right. :)
