Just curious, what did they do?

[-] Delphia@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

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

There 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?

That is atrocious. According to that account, there is proof that they willingly participated in the Holocaust in exchange for profits, and not a single one of them faced justice.

[-] Delphia@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

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.

Hugo Boss, the guy, was a major nazi though. Active party member.
