    Zyklon-B, the pesticide used in the gas chambers, was still being manufactured, sold and used (for its intended pesticide usage) all the way up until the 2010s iirc.

    and this was still under the Zyklon name.

    Not that it makes it any better, but at least they tried hiding operation paperclip. Hopefully indicating some kind of shame.

    Volkswagen didn't even change their name

    Barely changed the logo

    How was Nike involved? They didn't exist until ~ the 70s I thought.

    You presumably mean that Hugo Boss ‘designed the SS uniform’ — which he didn't, as he wasn't a designer and the company wasn't in fashion design until after his death. The uniform was designed by two dudes in the SS, and Hugo Boss' company was one of many manufacturers contracted for production.

    Hugo Boss was a member of the Nazi party, though.
