Who cares really? Like so what, so long ago? they attacked us, we respond by leveling them into the ground. We turned their cities to ashes, we gave their civilians clothes made of flames, and let Ivan have a right old Jolly time in Berlin. Nazi's? Were they that bad in the great scheme of things? The Romans were pretty nasty, the Vikings had a tad of blood on their hands, the English were right c**ts to everybody at one stage. America supported some right tyrants over the years in Central America and Africa supplying weapons to ice civilians. Israel butchers men, women and kids like its going out of fashion in Palestine - nobody says a word about the Zionists? Its all relative. If a conflict affects you, your home under threat - the Nazis were the worst in history to you if you were affected by them. If you were Indian for example, the English were evil beyond belief and yada yada. The Nazi's were no worse than any other conquering nation in history. Then history is propaganda, isn't it?

Halt die Klappe Böse, werden Sie die Engländer in unseren Masterplan alarmieren.

Ok, right. I was going to put Ford also, but I'm not sure if it was just Henry Ford being a Nazi Party donor/admirer rather than any work the company did for them.

I wasn't aware of the Dassler's Nazi links. I know they come from southern Germany and had a link of some sort with Bayern Munich...but IIRC (from the book on german footy: 'TOR'), Bayern had Jewish directors in the early Nazi era (and a bit of a rep for being rebellious toward the Nazis...unlike other clubs who bent the knee to them).
Click to expand...

I think it was solely Henry Ford, not the company. No other director/family member was involved in such stuff, I don't think.

Don't know if he was a Nazi party donator or just a sympathiser (not that it's any better).
