Henry Ford was a strange guy.
He was very helpful to the Bolsheviks in the early days of the Soviet Government. Sent engineers, expertise to help the Leninist government industrialize. Some of his engineers got all expenses paid often permanent vacations in the Russian Artic regions. They apparently enjoyed it so much their loved ones till haven’t heard from them.
The Russians whine about this every D-Day.
They deserved everything they got in the war, since they cut a deal with Hitler to divide up Poland.
Russia is always playing the small dik card.
Nobody loves you because you were a force for oppression and tyranny and still are.
Ford was an equal opportunity capitalist. He had manufacturing operations in Japan, German, Italy, and the Soviet Union. But he wasn’t the only ones to aid Soviet manufacturing. GM sent a team of production engineers to the Soviet Union in 1943. They helped the Soviets streamline the production of the T-34 series tanks.
