It’s my understanding that Nazi trucks had Ford engines.
if they wanted to play that game, most of Germany’s economy would be cancelled
BMW
Mercedes
Daimler
Siemens
ThyssenKrupp
Bayer
BASF
ad infinitum...
After that association with the Nazi and Coke, they are definitely off my purchase list. What is that old expression about glass houses?
Both GM and Ford had plants in Germany. The plants produced vehicles for the German military but were seized when the US joined the war and continued producing vehicles, notably the Opel “Blitz” truck.
The automobile corporations received reparations for damage done to their factories by Allied bombing.
Ford was the worst. Hitler had a picture of Ford on his office wall.
Ford was a huge supplier to both Germany & Russia (after the war). They are Socialists through and through. If you look at most of the philanthropists since WWII, you’ll note that they are Socialist-leaning. They support groups that outright Marxist/Socialist and throw a few dollars only to conservative-leaning groups so they cannot be accused of being biased. The numbers of dollars spent tell a lot!
