ChrobinI recently was in the BMW museum and they actually had a whole section dedicated to their Nazi past and how they want to never do that again. Do with that what you will but at least they’re not shoving it under the carpet.
tallwookiebetter than IBM I guess
XusonthaJust curious, what did they do?
They did what they were told and didnt argue.
Same as Hugo Boss made SS uniforms, a lot of german people and companies at the time just went along. Even if they didnt wholeheartedly swallow the propaganda, even if they quietly hated the Nazi regime, they saw those that spoke out beaten, killed or straight up vanish. Some of the companies willingly stuck their heads in the sand and just went along because they knew that to resist was to mark yourself, and to cooperate was to profit.
Oh I knew what BMW did, I was just asking about IBM
fabianThere is a book about it: IBM and the holocaust.
here is a summary, hopefully not paywalled.
Yeah that is some great info, but what does IBM has to do with Nazi?
Didnt realise you were asking specifically about IBM. IBM definitely knew they were doing something wrong.
Yeah,This article should give you a good outline.
Patapon EnjoyerHugo Boss, the guy, was a major nazi though. Active party member.
