This is all too often forgotten. The rise of the fascism in the 20s/30s was only possible through funding from Industrialists to suppress unions under the guise of rooting out communists. They didn't care what hell they were opening the door to. Capitalism and fascism, two cheeks of the same arse.

It's conveniently forgotten how many 'household' names were up to their oxters in the spread of Fascism and perpetration of the Holocaust.
Krupps, Siemens, Volkswagen, Chanel, AEG, Allianz, Associated Press, Audi, BMW, Chase, Essomobile, Deutsche Bank, Lufthansa, Dr Oetker, Ford, Hugo Boss, IBM...

'Dr Oetker' was turned into a global brand by Rudolf August Oetker - a member of the Waffen SS and Nazi Party.

Folks also need to remember Ferdinand Porsche. Worked with aul Adolph on the KdF Wagen and used slave labour in his factories.

Or that Porsche (reputedly based on Béla Barényi's original design, with much of the engineering done by the Jewish Josef Ganz) designed the Volkswagen Beetle.
