i mean i agree, and i'm not saying that the owner family should be absolved for supporting the nazis, but companies are not people and in a capitalist world, especially in a country where "useless eaters" are vilified like in nazi germany, shutting down and thereby putting hundreds of thousands of workers out of a job would have huge consequences for the own population no matter the allegiance of a particular company.

however, it is also true that bmw in particular was very happy to collaborate and employed actual slave labor from concentration camps so that point is eroded somewhat...
