In the mid 1930’s thru 1940’s, Ford provided trucks and cars to the german military - Henry Ford was given the Grand Cross of the German Eagle in 1938, Dupont was instrumental to provide synthetic rubber, GM produced the “Blitz Truck” and IBM provided the Hollerith Card tech to organize and manage the taking of Jewish property.


Why is this considered wrong? Are businessmen supposed to be able to foretell the future? Companies sold product which worked as it was supposed to work. It sounds ethical to me.

Ford sold whole truck manufacturing plants to the Soviet Union. Stalin killed a lot more innocents than Hitler did. Both were very effective mass murderers.

Agreed, just pointing out some points from my readings that I don’t think many are aware of. And thank you, you’ve added more to this mostly unrealized story.
